When Elon Musk continues his controversial pressure on the dismantling of the US International Development Agency (USAID), the new wave of right -wing conspiracy theorists requires to focus on another important humanitarian organization: the Red Cross.
While USAID has long been the goal of criticism, Muska’s drastic action has triggered a pot even further, and many now suggest that the Red Cross may be another in line for control. But what does this latest challenge for the event really control?
From alleged corruption to misinformation on the involvement of organization in global questions, the Red Cross suddenly found itself in the crossfire of these far -reaching conspiracy theories.
Could Muska followers on something on something – or is it just another case of a humanitarian organization that is unfairly focused on the world where the truth often bury under the layers of suspicion? Let’s take a closer look at what is really going on.
The USAID has been in the state of unrest since Trump Administration has introduced freezing foreign aid and has commissioned a number of officials for paid holidays for alleged attempts to bypass the President’s executive orders through proposals for surrender.
On Monday, the agency experienced other complications when it issued an employee directive to stay at home after its headquarters were unexpectedly closed. More than 600 workers from the agency’s computer systems were locked overnight. This closure came only a few days after the two best security officers on the USAid were on holiday to refuse to turn secret documents to the Musk’s Ministry’s inspection team (DOGE), quoting the lack of proper security clearance.
In response to the news that his agency was blocked in accessing classified information, Musk tweet on Sunday: “USAID is a criminal organization. It’s time to die.”
Muska’s aggressive steps against the USAid attracted significant will, and many claimed that as a legally established agency, only the Congress had the power to close it, not the presidential executive order or unilateral steps from Musk.
“These actions Trump/Musk show America as a nation that tramples the rule of law,” said Senator Andy Kim (D-n.j.).
Despite the controversy, Muska’s supporters applaud his efforts, and some even urged him to take similar steps against another organization to help: the Red Cross.
“@Elonmusk – and what” Redcross “? Game for it?” One Twitter user asked. “I didn’t hear anything about their piggy bank from USAid.”
“Make another red cross!” Another follower urged Musk.
The effort to target the Red Cross stems from several factors, including the criticism of the organization’s attitude to certain international issues. One person pointed to the Red Cross report criticizing the treatment of newly liberated Palestinian prisoners and questioning whether Musk and Doga funded the organization.
“Defend The Red Cross International,” another person tweeted.
These calls come in the middle of the picture of the brochure image that is heading to the USA, which contained information about where to find food and water. While the Red Cross explained that this document was part of their humanitarian efforts to reduce vulnerability among migrants, it was armed with conspiracy theorists.
Some have gone so far that they claimed that the Red Cross is involved in trading people. “The Red Cross helps in trading with children,” one individual wrote in response to the map. “The Red Cross steals them blood that gave them money. The red cross is not who you think they are.”
Others have similarly accused the organization of supporting trafficking and even slavery and linked it to the alleged involvement of the US government in these practices.
Although Musk has not performed any specific movements focused on the Red Cross – especially because he is not federally financed – he showed openness to these conspiracy views. In the January tweet Musk wrote: “I was told that not only is the Red Cross, which facilitates illegal immigration, but is paid by the federal government, namely the Ministry of Internal Security from the Fema budget! What is the hell?”
Conclusion
Given that the discussion of Elon Musk’s efforts to dismantle the USA is still developing, calls for targeting the Red Cross emphasize the growing influence of stories based on the conspiracy in the formation of public discourse. Although the Red Cross is an independent, non -governmental organization, it has found itself in Muska’s threads, powered by unfounded demands and misinformation.
While Musk explicitly did not come against the Red Cross, his involvement in such theories suggests a willingness to entertain conspiracy rhetoric. The wider consequences of these movements raise questions about the erosion of trust in the established humanitarian organization and the role of misinformation in political and social discourse.
How intense the debate on government and non -profit responsibility is to see how the next steps Muska will further influence these organizations and their perception of the public.
