Musk retweeted a report from Columbia Journalism Review on Twitter, which revealed the "funding" list of USAID. The content was shocking and caused an uproar around the world. Musk, the world's richest man, a tech mogul, and an American official, retweeted the news, which quickly detonated the world.

USAID has spent a lot of dollars to support more than 6,200 journalists, more than 700 news organizations, and nearly 300 media-related non-governmental organizations in more than 30 countries around the world.

On the surface, it is funding, but secretly it is bribery and buying people's hearts. Netizens are more direct, calling it "spreading dog food" and "remote breeding".

The US government has operated the "Media Development Fund" with a large amount of money, directly injecting more than 150 million US dollars into 217 media, journalist groups and so-called "fact-checking" platforms in 35 countries. This huge amount of money is staggering.

Internet users around the world were in an uproar. Those Western media, who usually shouted "freedom of the press", "independence" and "objectivity", are now collectively silent, which is very strange.

The four words "freedom of the press" sound quite mysterious. What about reality? It is like a magical realist drama, full of drama. In the play, some people hold microphones and shout freedom at the top of their lungs, while others cover their ears and pretend not to hear. The stage of this play is the world we live in, which keeps playing out all kinds of unexpected plots, sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad.

The United States gave the Philippines' "Anti-False Information Alliance" two million US dollars, and then the alliance labeled all news about Chinese vaccines as "suspicious". This happened in the Philippines.

The "Citizen Journalist Training Camp" in Colombia was funded by US dollars to teach locals to shoot protest videos with their mobile phones. These videos must conform to democratic values.

On the streets of Kiev, the Ukrainian Fact-Checking Center funded by the United States Agency for International Development publishes daily reports on Russian military atrocities.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, Minister Li's face was livid, and the numbers in the meeting minutes were shocking. The decline in sales was greater than anyone expected. He looked around, everyone's face was full of anxiety, and the air was filled with tension. This sudden change caught everyone off guard. Everyone stared at Minister Li, waiting for his next instruction. Minister Li took a deep breath and spoke slowly. His tone was calm, but with unquestionable firmness, he deployed a response strategy and asked everyone to work together to reverse the situation as soon as possible. The company must work together to overcome the difficulties.

The United States Agency for International Development packaged these projects as "news aid". Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was actually a carefully designed public opinion offensive.

Professor Claire Ward of New York University bluntly stated in "Invisible Propaganda": The US media accused other governments of manipulating the media, but the US government secretly manipulated foreign media like playing with puppets.

This double-standard game is like the emperor's new clothes, and everyone knows it. The truth is nakedly laid there, but no one wants to pierce this layer of window paper and continue to play their respective roles. Watching this play, you have to sigh that the world and people's hearts are really complicated.

USAID gives money, and those who receive money are not just small media and Internet celebrities, but even the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). BBC is the largest news broadcasting organization in the UK and is also world-class. It is funded by the British government and its independence is guaranteed by the Royal Charter. This is even more surprising.

This face is really thick. I have lived for so long, but I have never seen such a shameless person.

Zhuge Liang scolded the other party in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and expressed his indignation in one sentence: "I have never seen such a shameless person!" This line still seems to be powerful today, enough to describe what some people do.

The United States Agency for International Development, referred to as USAID, is a US government agency responsible for providing economic and humanitarian assistance to other countries. What does it do specifically? Simply put, it helps developing countries improve people's livelihood, such as providing support in health care, education, agricultural technology, etc., with the aim of promoting global development and prosperity.

Musk scolded USAID and bluntly said that it is a criminal organization with a strong tone.

Netizens denounced the U.S. Agency for International Development, saying it is a notorious spy agency that has been doing evil for a long time and has committed numerous crimes.

The BBC claimed that the huge amount of U.S. Agency for International Development funds were used for their "freedom and democracy" cause.

What is the difference between this and the underworld paying money and saying it is for justice and the happiness of the people?

It is really hard to accept the BBC's report. This is clearly a contempt for the understanding of the global audience.

Who does the BBC think is more likely to be fooled? The whole world or Americans?

As the saying goes, when you receive someone's favor, you will feel a little guilty.

How can you get something for free? How can you get the money that others give you without working hard, obeying orders, or making any effort?

Chen Weihua, president of the China Daily EU Bureau, said bluntly: BBC reporters in China have long been reporting negatively on China, and now the truth may be revealed to the world. They were bought by the CIA and MI6.

Just look at the BBC's reports on China in recent years, and you will know how hard they have worked to use the "hell filter". They are smearing everywhere, which is really unbelievable.

Musk's list of funding from the United States Agency for International Development has exposed the hypocrisy of Western "press freedom" and also made the "independence" and "objectivity" boasted by Western media fall apart. Jonathan Cook, a former reporter of the British "Guardian", bluntly stated that the so-called "professionalism" of Western media is actually a filter that suppresses different voices, and their so-called "fact checking" is nothing more than filtering out unpleasant news for the White House.

The so-called free reporting in the West is actually controlled news bought by money.

Under the manipulation of the US dollar, the so-called "independence" and "objectivity" of Western media are actually naked double standards, looking at the world through tinted glasses.

Since President Trump took office, Musk has also been "playing crazy", gaining some support and also attracting a lot of hatred. Now, Musk, who is not quiet, has found his next target of investigation: Fort Knox, the location of the largest gold vault in the United States.

Musk said on Monday that he would investigate Fort Knox, the main gold reserve in the United States. He wrote on his social media platform X: "Looking for gold in Fort Knox..."

It is understood that Fort Knox is a base of the US Army, located in Bullitt County, Hardin County and Meade County, Kentucky, with an area of ​​about 441 square kilometers. The US Army Recruiting Command, the US Army Reserve Officer Training Corps, the General George Patton Memorial and the US Treasury, which stores US Treasury gold, are all located there. It was also the location of the US Army Armor Center and the US Army Armor School.

Musk also shared a post by Senator Mike Lee on X, in which the latter said that he was denied entry to a military facility in Fort Knox, Kentucky. Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky suggested that Musk take action.

"Who can confirm that the gold in Fort Knox has not been stolen? Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't. The gold belongs to the American public! We want to know if it's still there," Musk responded.

In a new interview on Monday, Paul said Fort Knox and what is stored there need to be more transparent.

"I think some of them may not think it needs to be audited all the time, but I think the more 'sunlight' the better, the more transparency the better. At the same time, it also makes people notice that gold is still valuable, and implicitly, not explicitly (indicates), gold still brings value to the dollar."

It is reported that the beginning of the whole thing was that the well-known financial blog Zerohedge @ Musk on X last weekend said: "It would be great if Musk could go to Fort Knox to make sure that the 4,580 tons of US gold (reserves) are really there. The last time I went to the warehouse to verify was 50 years ago in 1974."

Data from the U.S. Treasury Department show that Fort Knox has more than 147 million troy ounces of gold reserves, accounting for 56.35% of the U.S. federal government's gold reserves, making it the place with the largest gold reserves in the United States. Currently, the U.S. Mint Police is responsible for protecting this batch of gold.

In 1974, the U.S. government conducted a public inspection of the gold at Fort Knox to refute the conspiracy theory that "the vault has been emptied" that was circulating at the time. Members of Congress and the media were invited to visit, and the then-U.S. Mint Director was responsible for the tour to prove to the public that the gold was still stored there.

But since then, apart from the annual formal "vault seal inspection", no independent audit has been conducted. In this regard, Musk also questioned over the weekend, "At least one review should be conducted every year?"

And even during the comprehensive audit in 1974, the U.S. Treasury Department only opened one of the 15 vaults in Fort Knox for politicians and reporters to visit and take pictures. The gold on display accounted for about 6% of the gold reserves. In short, at this point, it seems that Fort Knox has become the latest target of the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE).

[Musk: Will investigate Fort Knox, the largest gold reserve storage site in the United States] Cailian News Agency reported on February 18 that Musk said on Monday that he would investigate Fort Knox, the main gold reserve storage site in the United States. According to data from the U.S. Treasury Department, Fort Knox has more than 147 million troy ounces of gold reserves, accounting for 56.35% of the U.S. federal government's gold reserves, making it the place with the largest gold reserves in the United States.

The gold belongs to the American public! We want to know if it's still there," Musk said.

If Musk launches an investigation into the US military, it will undoubtedly cause an uproar and public outrage in all walks of life. After all, touching the interests of the military is like challenging a huge and deep-rooted system, and when it comes to money, robbing other people's money is as serious as the revenge of killing one's father in the public's cognition. But Musk showed a fearless attitude. He even prepared his own legacy long ago and left a will, which seemed to have put life and death aside. Musk has a strong security team behind him, which may be the strongest security force in the United States, and it also gave him enough confidence.

Since Trump took office twenty days ago, the Tema Group led by Musk has been active frequently. In particular, on February 7, with Trump's approval, Musk's team officially entered the Ministry of Defense to investigate its budget. This behavior is quite bold. After all, there is an essential difference between the military and civilians. Military affairs often involve many sensitive aspects such as national security and strategic deployment. This kind of investigation is likely to bring them huge trouble. If they also attempt to investigate the development plan of the United States, it will be regarded as crossing the line and a serious challenge to the authority of the military.

Back in 2018, Trump sent a group of auditors to the Department of Defense to investigate, but after many years, nothing was found. From 2018 to 2024, for a full seven years, the US government continued to send auditors to audit the Department of Defense, but no year could draw a definite conclusion. Even in 2024, it still failed to produce a final audit report. Behind this phenomenon, it reflects that there are many unknown scandals in the US military. The United States spends nearly one trillion US dollars a year on its military, in addition to various other complicated expenses. Where such a huge amount of money goes has always attracted much attention. The outside world can always hear about various types of corruption in the US military, which has to make people deeply suspicious of the use of funds by the Department of Defense.

Many people believe that this chaos within the US military has become a habit. US arms dealers are keen to recruit a large number of retired veterans, and retired senior officials of the Department of Defense are willing to spend money to help members of Congress be elected as senators, and then join the National Defense Council to seek benefits for arms dealers. The US military system seems to have lost control and has become like an independent existence outside the government system. Take the party to which an official belongs, for example. He may have been a member of the Democratic Party two years ago, but in the blink of an eye he may have become a member of the Republican Party. Such chaotic political stance changes are also reflected in the appointment of senior military officials. As the highest officer, there are many unreasonable aspects in the appointment of American generals. After all, the military is extremely particular about qualifications. How can an inexperienced subordinate be easily allowed to become the commander of the US Army?

Today, everyone is worried about Musk's safety, and he himself is clearly aware of the crisis he is about to face. After all, some of the people Trump sent to investigate the US military died, and some were sent to prison. But Musk said he was not worried. He left a suicide note and selected a successor. Even if he met with an accident, his successor would inherit his will and continue his unfinished business.

As the richest man in the world, Musk has the world's top security team. After Trump took office in November, he hurriedly moved to the Sea Lake Villa to prevent dangerous incidents like Trump's assassination. In the American society, money has a huge influence. As the saying goes, "money makes the world go round." Musk relies on a strong security team to ensure his own safety. Those scoundrels with ill intentions may not be able to compete with Musk. But even so, can Musk's investigation of the military really allow them to conduct a thorough investigation of the US military as the Trump administration expects?
