#misinformation
On January 28, Elon Musk was the source of the false information that the USAID had transferred 50 million dollars to fund condoms for Gaza, something which Musk suspected was funding HAMAS.
This claim was used by the Trump administration to justify their freeze on foreign aid.
But it was not true. The USAID had spent 50 million dollars on delivering condoms for Mozambique to combat the spread of AIDS.
Mozambique is a southern African country, some 6,000 kilometers from Gaza.
