You keep spreading the same lie I debunked last time. Please stop.

You didn’t “debunk” anything. You have no understanding of the history of State Department involvement in that region over decades, and are just reflexively assuming Elon is lying.


Trump and Musk are lying about that grant.

Show me proof of their claims that entire $29 million grant went to to that agency was spent on work in Bangledashi elections as Musk/DOGE claimed, despite no federal contract indicating that.

Show me the proof that DOGE "saved" that money after the contract was almost done and money was almost entirely granted.

Show me the proof that it went to an agency of two people as Trump claimed.

You can't show me proof of any of those things because they are lying.

You either ignorantly or willfully continue to repeat that lie, likely for partisan reasons.


The grant is documented here: https://www.highergov.com/grant/AID388A1700003/

Bangladeshi officials confirmed, moreover, that USAID bypassed official government channels in providing that money: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/south-asia/usaid-b...

There is no legitimate reason for the U.S. to be supporting political organizations of any sort in another country, bypassing official government channels.

It’s not a partisan point at all. My family came to America from Bangladesh because of USAID. I have every reason to hope the money was really going for childhood nutrition or vaccines or a legitimate expenditure like that.
