Oh, now you see what I was trying to do. Go one by one. Good Job $47,000 for a "transgender opera" in Colombia. White House State Department $32,000 for a "transgender comic book" in Peru. $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt. All they have to do is state "This is wrong." and you blindly believe it? The contract exist. This is wrong. This was for more than electric vehicles. USAID launched a $2.5 million fund that provided awards up to $100,000 to organizations with promising new products, business models, or financing models in Danang or Ho Chi Minh cities. The fund was part of a larger effort to bring green energy to a country that is one of the world’s fastest-growing per capita greenhouse gas emitters. China has a head start on green energy, but the United States has sought to keep Vietnam out of China’s orbit, so the program was intended to boost the U.S. brand in green energy.
@gwb-trading Here is an article about the contract: https://www.dai.com/news/us-climate...-project-for-innovation-challenge-fund-launch John Kerry Visits Urban Energy Security Project for Innovation Challenge Fund Launch The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has launched a $2.5 million Innovation Challenge Fund in Vietnam called “Tomorrow’s Energy Creators,” designed to catalyze solutions to urban energy challenges.
Once again let's quote the actual Washington Post article. As always, Musk and Trump misrepresented the information. “$2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam” This is wrong. This was for more than electric vehicles. USAID launched a $2.5 million fund that provided awards up to $100,000 to organizations with promising new products, business models, or financing models in Danang or Ho Chi Minh cities. The fund was part of a larger effort to bring green energy to a country that is one of the world’s fastest-growing per capita greenhouse gas emitters. China has a head start on green energy, but the United States has sought to keep Vietnam out of China’s orbit, so the program was intended to boost the U.S. brand in green energy. ================= And let me ask -- is stopping Vietnam from becoming a vassal state of China a bad thing?
The contract exist. You are wrong and you are doing your best to strawman. Did they not use one specific word that you wanted them to use? Once again let's quote the actual Washington Post article.

$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt. Once again let's quote the actual Washington Post article. This is wrong. This initiative was launched in the first Trump administration to “increase educational opportunities and strengthen the livelihoods of the people of North Sinai,” according to the citation provided by the White House. The money would “provide access to transportation for rural communities and economic livelihood programming for families.” There is no mention of funding tourism. “Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a nonprofit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation” This is dubious. Allegations of links to Pakistani terror groups have never been proved and have been denied as “baseless and defamatory” by the organization, known as Helping Hand for Relief and Development. Some GOP members of Congress for years have claimed the group has terrorism links, and the Washington Examiner reported last year that the USAID inspector general began an investigation. The State Department, in a brochure on American Muslims published during the first Trump administration, said Helping Hand was “lauded for its ability to deliver effective aid.” Contract Exist HERE IS THE EVIDENCE: https://2017-2020.usaid.gov/egypt/p...-commits-6-million-bilateral-assistance-egypt United States Commits $6 Million in Bilateral Assistance for Egypt For Immediate Release Monday, December 16, 2019 USAID/Egypt cairomedia@usaid.gov Cairo – The United States and Egypt, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), signed a bilateral assistance agreement amendment worth $6 million that demonstrates continued support from the American people for joint U.S.-Egypt priorities. This agreement will increase educational opportunities and strengthen the livelihoods of the people of North Sinai. The amendment to the North Sinai bilateral assistance agreement supports the Egyptian government’s efforts to spur inclusive economic development in the governorate. Through this agreement, USAID will build on previous investments in North Sinai including the provision of potable water to 300,000 residents and wastewater services to 100,000 residents. New activities under this amendment will provide access to transportation for rural communities and economic livelihood programming for families. According to U.S. Ambassador Jonathan Cohen, “This agreement reflects our strong and enduring partnership with the Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation and the U.S. Government’s commitment to the people of Egypt, especially for critical economic development efforts in the Sinai.” This latest support for Egypt’s priorities in the North Sinai is part of the four decades of partnership between the American and Egyptian people, to bolster self-reliance, foster stability, promote economic growth, and reduce poverty. USAID’s program in Egypt, totaling over $30 billion since 1978, promotes a healthy, educated, and employed population.

Anyone can reply to Musk to tell them what they did last week. And so the Internet did. You can join in too if you like. Elon Musk's email address for federal employee reports may have leaked. The trolling's already begun. "Dear Elon..." https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-federal-employees-email-trolling
