“Elon Musk destroyed USAID as a mechanism for killing off as many of the global poor and non-white as he can before they kill him first (as he, insanely, believes)” is not a conspiracy theory. In truth, it’s very hard to conclude anything else.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

I feel very confident that a core Elon Musk belief is that he’d better kill off as many Africans as he can while they’re still helpless children.

The neat thing for Elon Musk about mass-murdering the global poor he’s convinced are out to get him: Since he’s doing it via the mechanism of killing USAID and not by personally shoving them into death camps, it’s thus just abstract enough that he’s bargaining he’ll be allowed to get away with it.

I mean, “recommending that a government program be cut” isn’t actually illegal, no matter how obviously important that program is, how malicious your motives, or how servilely the elected government adheres to your whims, so I’m not sure how you nail him on that
