We Knew We'd See "Disinformation" From The Tangerine 2.0 Squads -- But Outright Lying, To His Own Cabinet?! It Is MUSK'S Cabinet, After All...

Apparently, Musk told Trump's cabinet yesterday that a "mistake was made" -- when his minions cut Ebola prevention funding at USAID, but it had already been restored. In fact of the 60 staffers working in Ebola prevention under USAID, now only six have jobs -- that has been independently verified, by named sources (at significant risk of Musk reprisals, for calling him on his lies to the GOP cabinet -- and Trump).

It would be hard to overestimate how badly this ongoing sort of supplicant behavior -- toward a known sociopath -- is going to turn out, for all Americans. This from MSNBC, quotes the Wa Po -- but it is. . . astonishing, in its accounting of Musk's. . . admitted duplicity -- and depravity:

“. . .So, for example, with [the U.S. Agency for International Development], one of the things we accidentally canceled, very briefly, was [funding for] Ebola prevention,” Musk said. “I think we all wanted Ebola prevention. So, we restored the Ebola prevention immediately, and there was no interruption.”

The GOP megadonor pointed to this example while chuckling a bit, as if this were an amusing example of his quasi-governmental “department” slipping on a banana peel. But the public need not worry, Musk suggested, because nothing bad actually happened when his team accidentally — but briefly — cut off Ebola prevention funds. All’s well that ends well, right?

Wrong. The Washington Post reported:

[C]urrent and former USAID officials said that Musk was wrong: USAID’s Ebola prevention efforts have been largely halted since Musk and his DOGE allies moved last month to gut the global-assistance agency and freeze its outgoing payments, they said. The teams and contractors that would be deployed to fight an Ebola outbreak have been dismantled, they added. While the Trump administration issued a waiver to allow USAID to respond to an Ebola outbreak in Uganda last month, partner organizations were not promptly paid for their work, and USAID’s own efforts were sharply curtailed compared to past efforts to fight Ebola outbreaks.

The Post’s report, which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News, quoted Nidhi Bouri, who served as a senior USAID official during the Biden administration and oversaw the agency’s response to health-care outbreaks, saying, “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’ anything in prevention” of Ebola and other diseases. . . .

And overnight, Chief Justice Roberts stayed, for the moment even the DC trial court order -- releasing these and other USAID funds. WTH?! Out.
