Russia Asks Elon Musk for Help Crushing Dissent

It looks like Elon Musks takeover of the federal government could put peoples lives at risk across the world.
USAID provided, among other things, funding for groups advocating for human rights and democratic reforms in states mired by autocratic regimes, as a form of U.S. soft power in places such as Russia. When Musk gutted the agency earlier this month, he baselessly claimed that USAID was laundering taxpayer funds into far-left sources.
Now Russia wants to know exactly where the money was going. Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Russian State Duma, asked the U.S. Tuesday for a list of individuals and opposition groups in Russia who received money from USAID.
If they recognized the organization as an enemy, let them give us the lists, Volodin said, according to The Times of London.
