Elon Musk ametaka kufungwa kwa Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) na Voice of America (VOA), vyombo viwili vya habari vinavyofadhiliwa na serikali ya Marekani, akidai kuwa havina umuhimu tena.
Musk alitoa kauli hizi akijibu chapisho la Richard Grenell, Mjumbe Maalum wa Marekani, ambaye alikosoa vyombo hivyo kama vyombo vya habari vinavyofadhiliwa na walipa kodi, vikiwa vimejaa "wanaharakati wa siasa kali za kushoto."
"Ni vyombo vya habari vilivyomilikiwa na serikali," Grenell aliandika. "Vyombo hivi ni urithi wa zamani. Hatuwahitaji vyombo vya habari vinavyolipwa na serikali."
Musk alikubaliana, akituma ujumbe wa kusema: "Ndio, vifungiwe." Aliendelea kudai kuwa vyombo hivyo "ni watu wa siasa kali za kushoto wanavyozungumza na wenyewe huku wakiteketeza dola bilioni moja kwa mwaka za fedha za walipa kodi wa Marekani."

Elon Musk has called for the shutdown of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) and Voice of America (VOA), two media organizations funded by the U.S. government, claiming they are no longer relevant.
Musk made the remarks in response to a post on X by Richard Grenell, the U.S. Special Envoy for Special Missions, who criticized the outlets as taxpayer-funded media filled with “far-left activists.”
“It’s state-owned media,” Grenell wrote. “These outlets are a relic of the past. We don’t need government-paid media outlets.”
Musk agreed, posting: “Yes, shut them down.” He went on to claim that the organizations “are just radical left crazy people talking to themselves while torching $1 billion a year of U.S. taxpayer money.”
