It's not always going to be easy for you to tell the objective truth when I guarantee that the same people who followed you only because of your stance on COVID origins just don't want to hear it. But I hope you stick to your guns. Don't give in to the people who only wanted you to be a political mouthpiece. They would have been just as happy to believe in a zoonotic origin if that's what Trump liked.
I agree that we would be a lot better off if Elon Musk were exiled from Washington DC. He should not be meddling in government on a part-time, ad hoc basis. He needs to grow up.
On the other hand, what Elon Musk has done and is doing has been sensationalized. He has no power to do anything but analyze and advise, and that is all he is doing. The comments he makes on X cannot be taken seriously.
Myself,. I don't worry too much about Elon Musk. I think he'll either tire of the job or Donald Trump will tire of him, and that will be the end of him. The person I worry about is Bobby Kennedy. I shudder to see that he will likely be confirmed to be secretary of health. I think that's a disgrace.
I always appreciate your perspective. Bobby Kennedy made significant compromises on vaccines with Sen Cassidy - let’s see if he holds up his end of the bargain.
Honestly, I don't know what to make of this, but now unfortunately, my trust in what you write is greatly shaken. This virus is blatantly engineered as you have very convincingly written about, but your insistence of USAIDs innocence and your lack of coverage of the evidence pointing towards at least the plan for an intentional release at some point, makes me rather suspicious. USAID is literally nothing but the funding front for a huge proportion of the globalist/CIA bullcrap that is going on, and nit picking about whether it was DEFUSE or PREDICT is completely missing the POINT. PREDICT evidently had a role to play and it all got funded in the end. As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of splitting it over lots of different agencies is precisely so they can play this kind of ridiculous plausible deniability game and stop even insiders getting the whole picture. USAID needs serious investigation and was evidently part of the whole covid plan, so no love lost frankly!
This is moving into speculation, but I think that they were planning to throw Fauci and NIAID/NIH under the bus and with this, thought the damage could be contained. It seems though that Trump is going after the whole lot, and quickly too! There is part of me that is somewhat concerned about the speed and methods being employed, but when you know that the whole lot is rotten to the core, I don't think they have much choice either. It's all going to come out soon anyway, so I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the panic!
As soon as he said referred to Elon’s “failing social media” platform it told me all I need to know. X is now the #1 media platform in the US and the world. That discredited everything in the entire post.
That must be why banks are selling loans from Musk’s leveraged buyout for 90-95 cents on the dollar. Big success taking what was the most successful media site and turning it into an intellectual and political wasteland 🙄
I know nothing about these Ukraine labs, but 167 labs sounds very unlikely, just in terms of sheer numbers in a single country; and obviously Russia has a lot to gain by maligning Ukraine and has a fecund history of inventing disinformation. More detail including sources would be helpful.
There are 46 public health laboratories, health facilities, and disease diagnostic sites in Ukraine that have received some funding from the US Department of Defense in a program that covers all former Soviet states. Those biolabs have nothing to do with genetic engineering.
That is exactly right. Claims of the US funding bioweapons work are often found in narratives pushed by our adversaries. They are baseless, and yet now similar-sounding claims are peddled by Elon Musk as he pretends to be President.
Main article: Forced sterilization in Peru § USAID
During the 1990s, USAID was implicated in the forced sterilization of approximately 300,000 indigenous women in Peru as part of the country's Plan Verde. Population control guidelines promoted by international bodies, including USAID, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Nippon Foundation, supported the Fujimori government's sterilization efforts.[117][118] Investigations by Peru's congressional subcommittee found a causal correlation between increased USAID funding and the number of sterilizations performed.[118] These sterilizations were part of a global strategy by the United States government to reduce birth rates in developing countries for political and economic stability.[118]
Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act revealed that USAID effectively took control of Peru's national health system from 1993 to 1998, during the period of forced sterilizations. It was concluded that it would be virtually inconceivable for these sterilization abuses to have occurred systematically without the knowledge of USAID administrators in Peru and Washington.[117][118]
You cannot wish the nefarious away, equally head up your gunga won’t help wish away what has become known as fact… U.S Aid, is a capricious organisation whose role has been funding including via proxies like the Soros Foundation, a gaggle of spurious NGO’s, Foundations and Think Tanks, the very worst abuses impacting democratically elected governments, a most famous such event The Maidan Coup, Ukraine 2014… an outcome designed principally to aid the bigger agenda, that of U.S State, DoD, NATO to take on Russia.
The entire episode a under the hood look at the true machinations of this odious enterprise, not to say the kickbacks from so called aid given sitting politicians little wonder they are singing like a Welsh male choir, ever so loudly at the heaven sent take down of this repulsive organisation, an organisation that has done more to aid CIA and its SOG paramilitary ops than actual advance democratic principles.. by the way, the interference in Georgia recently, trying to oust a sitting government, why? Because the Georgians dared to enact their own FARRAR Act, such legislation being ok for the U.S or E.U but not little ole Georgia, nope, they are not allowed to know who funds their NGO’s operating ad nauseum to destabilise the democracy they, the Georgians love.. how about involvement leading the charge in Romania, having the leading candidate candidate Călin Georgescu’s disqualified by the courts from running, the crap dredged up all faux to build their casus belli, to deny what clearly the Romanian populace seek, but hey, that’s what US Aid is there for… right?
To many wars, regime changes, coups resulting from this turgid organisation that it’s long past its use by date, many global leaders knowing it’s true intentions, wanting nothing to do with it..
watch now as more leaders and legislatures in jurisdictions the world over finally boot from their presence the NGO’s, Councils, Think Tanks, Foundations all Trojan horses used to defeat democracy.. US Aid, together the National Endowment Democracy respective take downs can’t happen fast enough.. humanity will be grateful, elated.
Lastly your understanding of the COVID and Eco Health involvement of U.S Aid you cite is so far off of actual reality that it is worrying, that someone such as yourself could be so misinformed of facts that have been proven contrary to your beliefs as have been declared under testimony in both the House and the Senate and as hast been confirmed the CIA just a week or so ago confirming as they did that COVID likely a lab made virus, escaped the Wuhan Lab.. funded as it was and has been confirmed again in Senate hearings by Eco Health together with the questionable actions of Eco Healths Peter Daszak amongst a small group in that organisation whose actions pre and post Covid have been placed under proper scrutiny… me thinks you have a lot to catch up on…
I’m not picking any side on anything, but here is the Executive Order that defines Musk’s position in the federal government. DOGE is a rename of the US Digital Service, which was created by then-President Obama in the Executive Office of the President.
In 2015, Ralph S. Baric and Shi Zhengli, used GoF to create an artificial virus that could increase the virulence and/or transmissibility and infect human cells. We're not the only ones who are doing these gain-of-function experiments, but all of this risky research is funded by governments. If it's not for bio-'defense', what is it for? And shouldn't taxpayers know where their money is going?
Thank you Alex. And sharing! In A Healthy Constitutional Republic, Elon Musk Would Be Answering Questions Under Oath. Instead he is ending decades long careers with impunity and threatening anyone who resists with Trump's DOJ - which answers only to the King now and no longer answers to the Constitution. This is how dictators operate.
Our Founders gave the lion’s share of constitutional authority to the legislative branch. The people’s house. Because our Founders feared a king. There’s great fear and confusion right now because an unelected oligarch, who lacks security clearance, whose "engineers" lack security clearance, is waging war on the federal government and the American People. The very thing our Founders feared. And what is Congress doing about this? Nothing.
But, if enough people speak up - especially REPUBLICANS - this will change. Trump and Elon are not going to "Make America Great" they are going to end America and turn us into a tin pot dictator's third world country. Is that what you all really voted for? Is that what you want for your children? Really???
FIGHT
Oh and after removing Elon and his merry little band of "engineers" - one of which is an ex or current Palantir employee/intern - we can be 100% certain that every database they touch will have tracking software installed so that the entire business of the US Government can be monitored. By who? For what purpose? We will not know. Once Musk/Thiel are removed from power, the only solution will be to unplug all the Federal computers and start from scratch. Or remain compromised permanently and absolutely controlled by the Tech Oligarchs.
Do you know which of the engineers is associated with Palantir and what that association is? This seems very important, especially if e.g. Palantir servers or software were used in any way that introduced data security concerns.
Here is my source for that information: https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/ The Palantir connection is Akash Bobba: According to a copy of his now-deleted LinkedIn obtained by WIRED, Bobba was an investment engineering intern at the Bridgewater Associates hedge fund as of last spring and was previously an intern at both Meta and Palantir. He was a featured guest on a since-deleted podcast with Aman Manazir, an engineer who interviews engineers about how they landed their dream jobs, where he talked about those experiences last June.
Which agency funded the bioweapons research doesn't change whether the US funded bioweapons research. So while you may be right or wrong on the specifics, your extension of the claim into geopolitics isn't factually sound.
As for the "but they made vaccines" claim --
How is it possible to conduct research that violates the bioweapons convention but suddenly not be violating it because you additionally conducted other research? It's like saying "yes I developed nukes but only to test my nuclear shielding so you see I didn't violate the nuclear nonproliferation treaty"
But worry not, the world is used to the US breaking every treaty it has ever signed while demanding others continue to abide by their obligations. At the end of the day, it's still the law of the jungle on the international level.
I personally, as a private citizen, agree with your logic and disagreements with NIAID’s justification for overturning the moratorium on GOFROC. I used a similar analogy in some of my writings - developing nukes to test bunkers is still nuclear weapons development.
The term “bioweapon” is very loaded, though, and I think we should be very careful with its use. I’m pretty sure most people using the word haven’t considered with full subject matter expertise what strategic bioweapons research & development would entail. There’s a depth of expertise required to do justice to this topic that, especially given the sensitivity of the matter, has me extremely deferential to people who know more than even myself about it. I’ve had scary bio ideas, but where we draw lines and where e.g. the DoD would draw lines with that definition aren’t things I’m qualified to say, so Elon Musk is absolutely not qualified either.
The colloquial use of the term regarding GOFROC is inflammatory. It’s worth avoiding overly inflammatory words as private citizens, and it’s especially important to avoid that language to make potentially false accusations about an agency while Elon Musk is acting in his capacity as a Fed, which he appears to be doing given his comments pertain to USAID during the time his digital tentacles are in USAID and he’s privy to USAID’s information. Maybe Trump will let Elon do whatever he wants, I imagine any enforcement of Elon’s speech on information he gets as a Fed is up to Trump, but failing to have some guardrails or accountability can create massive liabilities.
Elon Musk is playing with live ammo. If he starts some shit by being a highly visible idiot working for the president of the US, people can die. He needs to start acting with a maturity matching the awesome responsibility he’s accepted as there could be serious consequences if he’s wrong and his bullshitting tweets undermine our country’s global standing or worse.

Maybe you should read the douments the Russians presented to the United Nations detailing
the 167 bio labs in the Ukraine with money from Fauci and USAID. Stay tuned.
I know nothing about these Ukraine labs, but 167 labs sounds very unlikely, just in terms of sheer numbers in a single country; and obviously Russia has a lot to gain by maligning Ukraine and has a fecund history of inventing disinformation. More detail including sources would be helpful.

Funding is fungible. While your argument is technically correct, it glosses over the reality that a dollar here frees up a dollar there.
Yes, but unless Musk provides evidence that such transfers occurred with the approval of USAID, his claims are still baseless.
Which agency funded the bioweapons research doesn't change whether the US funded bioweapons research. So while you may be right or wrong on the specifics, your extension of the claim into geopolitics isn't factually sound.
