Elon Musk's DOGE halts $25,000 LGBTQ+ refugee funding
Briefly

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has withdrawn financial support for LGBTQ+ refugees in Greece in response to a request from Greek MEP Emmanouil Fragoks, calling for an examination of misallocated funding to assist illegal migrants. Fragoks highlighted concerns regarding the use of public resources by NGOs. This move corresponds with the right-wing Greek Solution party’s strict anti-immigration stance and their leader's controversial proposals. Musk's terse reply to the letter has further fueled public discourse about the direction of DOGE under his leadership.
In a letter dated February 11, MEP Emmanouil Fragoks requested information from Elon Musk regarding alleged misallocated funding aimed at supporting illegal migrants in Greece.
Musk's DOGE decision to cut funding for LGBTQ+ refugees appears to respond to pressure from right-wing Greek officials concerned about NGO support for illegal migration.
Greek politician Kyriakos Velopoulos has consistently pushed anti-immigrant policies, suggesting drastic measures like transferring migrants to uninhabited islands.
In reaction to Fragoks' letter, Musk simply replied "Wow," sparking discussions about the impact of his decisions as head of DOGE.
