Budget of $400 Million: Musk Suggests Shutting Down Major U.S. Media Outlets

Elon Musk has called for the closure of 'Radio Free Europe' and 'Voice of America', labeling them as 'crazy left-wing radicals' and stating that they are wasting billions of taxpayer dollars, reports NewsBox.

The American billionaire, Elon Musk, advocated for the shutdown of media corporations 'Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty' and 'Voice of America', claiming that their operations have become irrelevant.

Yes, shut them down. 1. Europe is free (except for the stifling bureaucracy). Hello?? 2. Nobody is listening to them anymore. 3. They're just a bunch of crazy left-wing people talking to themselves while burning $1 billion a year in U.S. taxpayer money, wrote Musk.

'Radio Liberty' and 'Voice of America' are funded by the U.S. Agency for Global Media and operate in 23 countries in 27 languages, including Russia, Ukraine, Iran, and Afghanistan. Their combined budget for 2024 is over $400 million.
