Elon Musk has advocated for the shutdown of Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, labeling them as wasteful. His stance aligns with efforts by the Trump administration to impose budget cuts and exert control over U.S. international broadcasting agencies. As firings occur within the Voice of America, fears heightened amongst other networks about the potential cessation of funding, which threatens the operational viability of critical news services aimed at combating global disinformation and propaganda.
Elon Musk's recent call to cut funding for Voice of America reflects a broader trend of budget reductions impacting U.S.-funded international broadcasting, risking vital news services.
The ongoing cuts to the U.S. Agency for Global Media could signify a dangerous shift in U.S. foreign media policy, threatening the integrity of independent journalism abroad.
