That’s not what anyone’s doing though. The research is just a straight extrapolation of how many people will die because of USAID cuts over time, which is very easy to see as Musk’s fault and a deliberate choice.

yep...

That list is doing exactly that.

If I buy some shares and make a 10% profit in a week, can you extrapolate that to say I will be a millionaire this time next year (Rodney)? No, because there is not just one factor or guaranteed path due to an single action in anything except a scientific study.

The list puts him up against people who have killed millions with their decisions, granted not in exactly the same way.

Would it be better if we listed him with other capitalists that have killed a lot of people, he’d definitely be at the top of the list for that one.

To answer your further question. What he did was more like buying the only company in africa that makes cost effective aids treatments and closing it.
