According to a media report, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has suspended funding for Radio Free Asia (RFA) for 30 days. This was reported by Politico China Watcher, citing two anonymous sources. The aim is reportedly a permanent financial stop for the state-funded radio station. In February, Musk had already lashed out at the sister organizations Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which, like RFA, are funded by the federal authority Global Media.
