Elon Musk: Bono Is A Retard<\/span><\/p>\n

Outgoing DOGE overseer Elon Musk has hit back at claims made by U2 singer Bono that 300,000 people have \u201calready died\u201d because of cuts made to USAID.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Appearing on Joe Rogan\u2019s podcast, the Irish singer declared\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s not proven, but surveillance suggests 300,000 people have already died from this cut-off, this hard cut of USAID.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The key phrase there being \u2018it\u2019s not proven\u2019.<\/p>\n

BONO: \u201c300,000 people have already died from this hard cut of USAID\u201d<\/p>\n

ROGAN: \u201cIt was a money laundering operation \u2026 Billions of dollars are missing \u2026 @elonmusk<\/a> said if any of this was done by a public company, the company would be delisted and the executives would be in prison\u201d pic.twitter.com\/zLOLD7DK9f<\/a><\/p>\n

Bono added \u201cSo, there\u2019s food rotting in boats and warehouses\u2026This will f**k you off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo American will be happy. There is 50,000 tons of food that are stored in Djibouti, South Africa, Dubai, and wait for it, Houston, Texas that is rotting,\u201d he further claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people who know the codes at the warehouses are fired, they\u2019re gone,\u201d the singer also suggested.<\/p>\n

He then asked Rogan\u00a0\u201cWhat do you think? That\u2019s not America, is it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rogan responded with actual facts, noting\u00a0\u201cThere have been a lot of organizations that have done a tremendous amount of good all throughout the world. Also, for sure, it was a money-laundering operation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor sure, there was no oversight, for sure, billions of dollars were missing,\u201d he continued, adding \u201cIn fact, trillions that are unaccounted for were sent off to (who knows) where, because there are no receipts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way Elon Musk described it, he said if any of this was done by a public company, the company would be delisted and the executives would be in prison. But in the United States, this is standard,\u201d Rogan emphasised.<\/p>\n

ZeroHedge notes that \u201cBono\u2019s claim may be based on projections by Brooke Nichols, a mathematician and infectious disease professor at Boston University, who modeled an estimated 300,000 deaths, with over 200,000 of them being children. However, much like weather models, these projections are highly speculative and come with significant uncertainty<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just some academic spouting pure speculation based on nothing.<\/p>\n

And Bono swallowed it hook, line and sinker.<\/p>\n

Bono keeps most of the money from his charity foundation, particularly the ONE Campaign. In 2008, ONE received \u00a39.6 million but allocated only \u00a3118,000 (1.2%) to direct aid, with \u00a35.1 million spent on salaries and administrative costs. No doubt Bono pockets the majority as\u2026<\/p>\n

The citizen of Ireland, Paul David Hewson (Bono) is worth $700 million.

Bono was palling around with Clinton and Tony Blair at WEF. I’m not surprised he has an agenda. pic.twitter.com\/pe2vB4EkxU<\/a><\/p>\n

Elon Musk responded to the comments, calling Bono a liar, an idiot and a retard.<\/p>\n
