Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO is on track to make him the world's first trillionaire, yet his empire of wealth is built on the suffering of countless individuals. A year ago, under the guise of 'efficiency', he led the destruction of USAID, an agency crucial in global health initiatives. The consequences were catastrophic; over 780,000 lives, many young and innocent, perished due to cuts that directly impacted malaria, tuberculosis and HIV treatments.

Musk's actions are not just about business; they reveal a deeper ethical issue. During a cabinet meeting in 2025, he gleefully joked about 'accidentally' canceling Ebola prevention efforts. His racist rhetoric adds another layer of complexity to his public persona, making it clear that his priorities do not include the well-being of Black lives.

Despite warnings from experts and whistleblowers like Nicholas Enrich, who testified before Congress, Musk showed no remorse. His actions were so extreme that even his boss, Susie Wiles, termed him a 'complete solo actor' with a clear understanding of the horrifying impact of his deeds.

The irony is palpable: while Musk advocates for solving Earth's problems, he actively destroys health initiatives that save children from deadly diseases. The destruction of USAID missions to save human dignity and protect natural lands shows a callous disregard for suffering on a global scale. It raises questions about the future of our society when such individuals hold so much power.
