fficiency Czar Elon Musk signaled Tuesday that he has chosen the next government-funded candidate for the chopping block: National Public Radio.
“Defund NPR. It should survive on its own,” the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) boss posted on X, Tuesday morning. NPR is a left-wing nonprofit media organization that was established by an act of Congress in 1970 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
President Trump himself questioned why American taxpayers were still paying “this big-government, Democrat Party propaganda operation” during his first term.
NPR and The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, were set to receive $525 million in public funding in 2024, although an updated figure was not disclosed at the end of the year, according to the Wrap.
