David Brooks goes ballistic on DOGE's USAID Cuts: Murderer Elon Musk kills 300,000!
Elon Musk's actions likened to history's notorious killers due to USAID reductions by NY Times writer
Oh boy, here we go again! New York Times columnist David Brooks has outdone himself, branding Elon Musk as a mass murderer on par with infamous dictators like Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin due to his management of DOGE's USAID cuts.
Brooks pulled no punches during Saturday's PBS News Hour, claiming that since the Trump administration took office, 55,000 adults have died of AIDS, and 6,000 children lost their lives due to DOGE. These numbers, he suggested, were just the tip of the iceberg, with a staggering 300,000 deaths predicted over the course of four years.
If you're wondering, yeah, Brooks considers Musk's cuts to USAID equally heinous as the Cambodian Genocide, Mao's Great Leap Forward, and Stalin's purges.
But hold on a second, bucko. Let's not rush to judgment just yet. The numbers Brooks spouted off come from Mass Murder Mark II: The Sequel Edition, a side project of Boston University digital tracker and their resident Global Health Professor, Brooke "Doomsday" Nichols. When you filter their data for USAID cuts, they claim 99,528 adults and 207,680 children have perished this year due to funding discontinuations[1].
Yep, you heard that right. Because every single U.S. policy change, no matter how small, has the power to usher in Armageddon[5].
Tsk, tsk, Mr. Brooks. If only Adolf Hitler had this keen an eye for disaster.
Naturally, our fearless leader, Donald Trump, agreed with shutting down USAID, according to Elon Musk[1]. The billionaire tech guru is on a crusade to root out "waste, fraud, and abuse" within government, and he's not holding back one bit[4]. So it's no surprise that he's slashing 90% of all USAID contracts[4].
Hmm, I wonder where Brooks got his data. Could it be from the Boston University digital tracker's fundraising campaign? Anyone got a donation link handy?
In flux or a total sham? USAID is both a savior and a swindler, depending on who you ask[2]. Established in the '60s to provide aid around the globe, it now operates in 60 nations and employs over 10,000 people, the majority of whom work overseas[2]. But the Trump administration has long been calling it out as a hotbed of corruption, and they've moved quickly to make drastic changes[2].
So there you have it, folks. In David Brooks' fevered imagination, Elon Musk is responsible for 300,000 deaths, and he's no better than history's worst maniacs. But keep in mind that these numbers are based on shaky ground[1], and there are competing perspectives on just how fatal these cuts will be[1]. Until we have confirmed death tolls, it's wise to take Brooks' words with a grain of salt.
