I’m loving the amount of labels on this I find any less and I start getting confused.

A lot of the US's least educated, easily duped, or most vulnerable to propaganda are starting to find out that they backed the wrong horse. These added labels are most likely for them.

Gotta be careful not to go full Garrison though.

Musk once offered to end would hunger for 6 billion, but turned it down and bought twitter instead.

So just slightly off the mark then. Not sure if you're trying to support, refute, or clarify details of my statement, so I'll add this:

In 2021, Elon Musk challenged the United Nations (UN) to provide a plan to end world hunger using $6 billion of his wealth. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) responded with a detailed plan that could save 42 million people from starvation. However, Musk donated the money to his own foundation instead.

Sorry, I should've said more than merely the link. What you'd said was something I hadn't heard, so I clicked around and found that you're right.
