On February 2, Musk posted on X: “NED is a SCAM.”

The whole article is great in that it admits to a ton of crimes of the NED while desperately trying to frame it as a good thing.

Main news won't even put the acronym on the headlines, see NYT.

It's very ironic that austerity madness is what is finally killing these exporters of neoliberalism. Somebody should X at musk to cut all funding for the University of Chicago too.

Fuck it, cut the funding for everything! Hey conservatives, you say small government is good, you know what's even better? Even smaller government. And it doesn't get any smaller than no government. Just abolish the whole thing. Go full on ancap! Let the market decide. If the army can't deliver a return on investment, let it go bankrupt! Navy? You'd get a better ROI turning those carriers into luxury cruise ships. If Congress can't turn a profit, fire those lazy bums. Senate? More like Se-not! Presidency? Get out of here with that commie crap. Just have a CEO instead. CIA, FBI, NSA, ICE? Welfare queens! Time for them to earn their own living competing on the free market instead of mooching off the taxpayer dime. Pull themselves up by their bootstraps, maybe start a small business spying on unfaithful husbands for their wives. And definitely none of that woke NED or USAID garbage! Those foreigners can just regime change themselves from now on.

It's even funnier if you read your own message with Alex Jones' voice. 😂
