#ElonMusk's Empty Hunt for Condoms Is Causing Real Harm
The false claim that #USAID was supplying Hamas with $50 million worth of condoms threatens to undo decades of work battling #HIV
Multiple #aid agencies have effectively ceased operations preventing the global spread of HIV & treating patients with #AIDS in the wake of funding cuts by the #Trump admin.

That's the result of #ElonMusk & his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (#DOGE) appearing to take special aim at programs that include the word "#condoms" or "#contraceptives" in their funding documents. This includes virtually every initiative related to a global #HIV / #AIDS response program administered by the #State Dept known as the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or #PEPFAR.
@Nonilex That guy really hates condoms.
Every condom, piece of equipment, sack or morsal of food was bought from American suppliers.
Billions now cut from vital USA aid will result in deaths and devastating loss of income to American businesses and Farmers.
Even the sacking of staff has a knock on affect not only to the staff , but also the businesses that serviced that staff
Every action has far reaching consequences

So true, and one would think even with the FAKE #Musk #Trump #Foxnews #disinformation about #GazaCondoms being #factchecked on many podcasts (#thomhartmann) and #MSNBC etc. it's still a #MAGA real thing
#MAGA never is told the money given MOSTLY goes to US companies in #RedStates #DefenseIndustry
The rightwing seem to get news by the "Telephone Game" method
