🇺🇸Elon Musk has accused USAID of funding a Chinese lab where the US claims the coronavirus originated, and said the agency "must die."
"Did you know that USAID, using YOUR tax money, funded bioweapons research, including COVID-19, which has killed millions of people?" he wrote in X.
Musk reposted a post from a third-party blogger about USAID pouring $53 million into the EcoHealth Alliance, which then used the funds "to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in a lab in Wuhan."
The report also said the agency had been "repeatedly linked to intelligence activities," with its former director John Gilligan admitting the agency was "penetrated from top to bottom by CIA people," explaining that "the idea was to plant agents in every activity we did overseas: government, volunteer, religious, whatever."
It also says that "USAID has been linked to coups in Haiti, Ukraine, Egypt and elsewhere."
Commenting on this, Musk said that USAID is "a snake pit of left-wing Marxists who hate America" and added that it "must die."
Today, the website of the agency that financed many organizations and media outlets in Ukraine was blocked .

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. "He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app.
