Elon Musk has reportedly spent $40M on a series of Superbowl ads airing tonight attacking USAID's "wasteful spending." We may not have millions of dollars but between all of us, we do have a massive global network.

Here are just a few ways USAID could have spent $40M:

Save Foreign Aid
Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M: 🏈Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one year 🏈Bought enough emergency food aid products made in Rhode Island and Georgia to treat 800,000 severely malnourished children 🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50,000 people in Central America 🏈Protected 30,000,000 football fields of tropical forest in Africa, preventing China and Russia from exploiting timber and critical minerals that fuel our world 🏈Saved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree This Super Bowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)
FYI
Viagra has more serious side effects than Mifepristone

Mifepristone has a lower risk of side effects than penicillin

So why is it such a big deal to these GOP boys anyway?

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.

The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.

Good job, friends.

So to be clear, Elon has given a Nazi salute, then said Germans shouldn’t feel guilt for their Nazi grandparents actions, said no race mixing for Italy, and that we have to “save” Japanese culture.

This motherfucker trying to speed run reforming the Axis.

Before rushing to praise companies doubling down on DEI, remember many of them face class action lawsuits for failing their employees. Anti-DEI or pro-DEI, their daily actions—not press releases—show their true priorities. Watch what they do, not what they say.

Just remember, in these wild times where it feels like an executive order drops every 20 minutes, these are old dudes who need naps, golf breaks, or to time their boner pills before meeting their mistress. This frenzy will slow down—probably right after their afternoon siesta. No stamina.

It doesn’t matter what you intended—if 99% see it as something offensive, it is that thing. Perception defines reality, especially in moments like Musk’s gesture. Intent can’t erase history or context, and actions must speak louder than excuses when the world is watching.
