Elon Musk is a textbook example that no matter how much money you have, some people are still hungry for more and wouldn't hesitate to take away even from those who are starving. This is not a statement about rich people in general. Some of them give billions to charities. This is about Elon Musk specifically.

the real reason is: he's lying. Claims that funds were shifted to 'other agencies' that 'could have' prevented things, but didn't, in an attempt to obscure the fact/admission that DOGE's cuts directly resulted in many preventable deaths. The author states that the subtext is that only people we don't care about died, which seems an interpretation not a literal quote.
