I'm on the web version all the time. I post, browse, comment, like and so on. I don't know what could be causing the issue. Hope it gets resolved.

3/ Halimi initially wonders if Musk’s accusation is an April Fool’s joke. After all, the decades of work he had done consulting for U.S. diplomats wasn’t in service of the Taliban; it was the opposite.

Little did he know his nightmare was just beginning.

DOGE Targeted Him on Social Media. Then the Taliban Took His Family.

Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U...

2/ It starts with a viral Elon Musk post.

“United States Institute of Peace Funded Taliban,” the graphic read, falsely claiming that USIP was funding the terrorist group through Halimi, whose work with the independent nonprofit involved providing advice to help US diplomats understand Afghanistan.

An Elon Musk X post dated April 1, 2025. Musk is quote-tweeting a post from user @amuse that reads: "DOGE: The DOGE team fought for days to gain access to the United States Institute of Peace. Eventually, with help from the FBI and Metro Police DOGE was able to access the agency and discovered massive fraud, waste and abuse-including payments to Taliban and Iraq." And includes a photo of the US Institute of Peace with a text that reads "US Institute of Peace Funded Taliban and Iraqi Leaders. The now-cancelled USIP contracts included $132,000 for Mohammad Qasem Halimi - Afghanistan's former Chief of Protocol and a former Taliban member - and a staggering $1.3 million to the Al Tadhamun Iraqi League for Youth.

Above all this, Musk writes:
"Any government institution is most likely to be the opposite of its name"

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

I was wondering about that too. But then she has been travelling a lot lately to all these cons, so she may not have been available when these interviews were being done.
