This tweet from Elon Musk is, of course, false. The first known victim of DOGE died around February 2 after the refugee hospital that was giving her oxygen shut down. But the tweet will be useful as there's abundant proof he's lying (or ill-informed) about Ebola & restarting payments.

@emptywheel.bsky.social Funny how you can stop funding overnight but claim you can't simply resume funding overnight that was already pre-approved. It does NOT take a "few weeks" to transfer that money to the appropriate bank accounts.

If it takes weeks to restart payments, that wasn't a pause. Pause can be turned on/off with ease, this is more cancellation/forced clumsy re-instatement due to court rulings. Also why can't you do a "sanity check" by going through the databases FIRST you moron!

That's a hell of a standard The #ElongatedMuskrat has there: "Nobody died".

Destroying lives & creating chaos is perfectly fine so long as "no one died" as a result of his incompetency. 🤬

@emptywheel.bsky.social Pretty sure that "interrupting life support" or "pausing disease treatment" for a few weeks, and then taking a few weeks more to restart it, is liable to lead to death.

Ditto for food shipments. "Sorry it's been a month since you were able to eat; we had to do a sanity check."

@emptywheel.bsky.social Elon does not give a F when his cars killed the drivers. He'd care even less if his action killed some poor people overseas who can't afford to hire lawyers to sue him.
