Why is Musk shutting down USAID? My guess is because it helped black people in Africa. [View all]

From Wiki ..... 64 years of help.

"Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act on September 4, 1961, which reorganized U.S. foreign assistance programs and mandated the creation of an agency to administer economic aid. USAID was subsequently established by the executive order of President John F. Kennedy, who sought to unite several existing foreign assistance organizations and programs under one agency."

*******************************
My guess is that USAID helped the people in Africa aka the blacks and Musk didn't and still doesn't like that because @ his core he is an Afrikaner who see black people as inferior to white people and so he is shutting down USAID because of his racism and drug addled mind BTW Elon's grandfather moved his family from Canada to S. Africa because he supported Apartheid.

BTW Wasn't Trump talking about pulling aid to South Africa just yesterday because of something to do with White People's property there?
