I was looking for a source for the quote, so I appreciate you.
Sounds like he doesn’t really regret getting involved in politics at all based on his follow up answers. Probably just regrets that he alienated the people most likely to buy his cars.
Food shortages. It’s largely timing because the Russia war had already limited shipments of grain and increased costs, and they cut off food suddenly. It’s not like there was a transition period and they had time to plant crops and have a growing season.
Could I see a source on that? (Unless it’s an exaggeration, in which case please ignore my thickness)
Edit: I mean the number of deaths, not the elon quote
I believe most of them were due to USAID cuts.
https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard has some stats showing deaths in the 750k range.

Edit: Ah, I see you meant source for the # not the quote

I’m sure nothing has ever been his fault in his narrative
