62. Musk has gotten to Krasnov to be pissed off that S. Africa is no longer an Apartheid Afrikaner nation

And I think that racism might have been Musk’s motivation in getting us out of USAID because
it was helping black people in Africa and Musk was raised to see them as “the enemy.”

We are now the allies of Russia, Hungry, N. Korea, and China. BTW the White House just replaced
A.P. in the press pool w/Semafor which is propaganda outlet for the Chinese Communist Party
leadership, banks and investment houses, and businesses that are linked to China.
