Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful.
Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M:
https://youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one yearBought enough emergency food-aid products made in Georgia and Rhode Island to treat 880,000 severely malnourished childrenSlowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training and support to 50,000 people in Central AmericaProtected 30,000,000 football fields of tropical forest in Africa, preventing China and Russia from exploiting timber and critical minerals that fuel our worldShipped the 29,000 metric tons of American food products worth $40 million on American ships instead of letting it waste away in a Texas warehouseSaved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree
This Superbowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID
