Musk takes aim at USAID again: What did he say this time?
👀 On October 5, Musk posted on X, targeting the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The original post page showed 16:47, and at the time of verification it showed approximately 1.567 million views. First, let’s see exactly what he said.
📣 Translation of the original: “USAID is involved in election interference and regime change around the world, causing widespread conflict.” This is an accusation made by Musk; it has not been independently verified in this fact-check.
He cited an old post by Mike Benz from August 19, 2025. Benz claimed that after Bolsonaro won Brazil’s 2018 general election, USAID’s spending in Brazil more than doubled, and said the funds were used to undermine Bolsonaro. Note that these claims about how the money was used also require evidence; an increase in spending alone is not enough to prove election interference.
🧩 In my view, what’s notable about this post is how an old issue is spreading again through a high-profile account. The cited material concerns Brazil, while Musk’s own statement broadened the claim to “around the world.” The scope of the discussion has expanded; whether the evidence can support such a broad claim still needs to be checked.
🔎 I’ll be watching for two things: whether there are original project lists, audits, or court records; and whether the U.S. government takes any concrete action involving budgets, diplomacy, or sanctions. The former would help assess the allegations, while the latter could affect the business environment and market risk expectations for related companies.
As for BTC, ETH, and DOGE, this post does not directly mention them. My view is that we should follow the news for now; this statement alone is not enough to infer a direction for crypto prices. Image 1 is a screenshot of the original post, and Image 2 is the Chinese translation.
💬 For stories like this, would you rather see a translation of the original post or an analysis of how assets are affected after policies are implemented?
The DOGE market data below is included only to check the market reaction; it does not mean the news has become a price catalyst.
