Elon’s DOJDOGE Doxes Afghan Ally, Sparks Taliban Roast Fest

On April Fool's Day, Elon Musk’s DOGE team accidentally turned Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi into a viral "Taliban terrorist" meme, nearly giving his family a Taliban-sponsored beatdown. Despite Halimi’s history as a U.S. ally and Taliban victim, Musk shared a post titled 'United States Institute of Peace Funded Taliban,' igniting a GOP meme parade led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Halimi’s $132,000 USIP contract, meant to help Afghan women, became a deadly misinformation bomb. Warning bells from State Department suits were ignored while Musk & DOGE played government tag, all culminating in family kidnappings and a Fox News cameo for the ultimate reality show chaos.
