• Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Twitter owner Elon Musk ripped the current education system in the United States Friday, saying that taxpayers were “paying people to hate America.”
• Ramaswamy and Musk took part in a Twitter Spaces forum where Ramaswamy blasted the Department of Education for using funding as an incentive for schools to use certain theories in curricula. Ramaswamy outlined plans to shut down that department during a July 20 forum in New Hampshire.
• “You talk about those local schools, what the heck are they doing? That comes from the U.S. Department of Education,” Ramaswamy told Musk.
• “OK, so basically we’re paying people to hate America,” Musk responded.
