Musk calls for shutting down US-funded outlets Radio Free Europe, Voice of America

Tech billionaire Elon Musk on February 9 called for shutting down US-funded media outlets Radio Free Europe and Voice of America, Report informs via Kyiv Independent.

Responding to comments by US Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Richard Grenell, Musk wrote on X: "Yes, shut them down. Europe is free now (not counting stifling bureaucracy). Nobody listens to them anymore. It’s just radical left crazy people talking to themselves while torching $1B/year of US taxpayer money."

"Radio Free Europe and Voice of America are media outlets paid for by the American taxpayers. It is state-owned media. These outlets are filled with far left activists," Grenell reportedly said on February 9. "I’ve worked with these reporters for decades. It’s a relic of the past. We don’t need government paid media outlets."
