Elon Musk’s Growing Death Toll: “What He Put Into the Woodchipper Were Children”
"500,000 children died." The post Elon Musk’s Growing Death Toll: “What He Put Into the Woodchipper Were Children” appeared first on Futurism .
Documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney highlighted the devastating impact of Elon Musk's cuts to USAID in a recent interview. According to Gibney, these cuts could have led to the death of up to 14 million individuals worldwide due to disease and starvation. In fact, within a year of the cuts, approximately 500,000 children lost their lives.
Musk, in a shocking display of callousness, even made light of the situation by joking about "putting USAID into the woodchipper." Gibney's documentary, titled "Musk," is considered a "hit piece" by Musk, who has continuously denied any harm caused by his actions. A study published in The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, estimated the devastating consequences of the USAID cuts, projecting over 14 million additional all-age deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under five.
A mathematical modeler at Boston University, Brooke Nichols, projected a 518,000 child death toll in the first year alone.
