Elon Musk is shutting down whole federal agencies and firing thousands of U.S. civil servants, supposedly to eliminate fraud and waste. The South African claims great success in this mission. How do we know this success is real?

Meanwhile, Musk, the CEO of Tesla electric vehicles, has secured for himself a $400 million U.S. Defense Department contract for “armored Tesla” trucks. $400 million for billionaire Elon Musk, but nothing for the poorest of the world’s poor in Africa and other impoverished third-world nations who are now dying from starvation, and lack of lifesaving medicines now that Musk has shut down USAID.
Once the media started spreading the news about this sweet deal for Musk, the wording on the procurement document was scrubbed to get rid of the name “Tesla.” Now it reads $400 million for “armored electric vehicles.”
