A troubling pattern is emerging. As if Elon Musk didn’t already have enough power, he pressured Reddit’s CEO to censor content he didn’t like—pressure we hope Reddit will resist in the future.

Without phone support, resolving payment issues, verifying official communications, and addressing urgent concerns would be much harder, increasing financial hardship and fraud risks.

To summarize:
-They stopped almost all USAID work
-Then they conceded that some programs actually saved lives & granted waivers for those
-Then they promised a “careful” 90 day review of everything

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.
