Elon Musk, who leads Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), pushed for the complete shutdown of RFE/RL and VOA last month, labeling them “radical left crazy people talking to themselves while torching $1B/year of US taxpayer money.” The two CIA-linked broadcasters were prominently used by Washington to counter Soviet influence in Europe during the Cold War, but “nobody listens to them anymore,” Musk said.
