USAID Ukraine. Elon Musk usaid. russian fake. Hollywood stars usaid

"Angelina Jolie received $20 million for her visit, and Orlando Bloom received $8 million. Sean Penn, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Ben Stiller also received money". This was reported by the russian media with reference to a story by the American edition of E! News. In fact, this video is fake. Neither the website nor the social media of E! News website or social media, there is no story about the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funding celebrity trips to Ukraine. 

Hollywood stars have been visiting Ukraine over the past two years to support people suffering from the war, not to make money. For example, Jolie came (https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ukraine-angelina-jolie-un-human-rights-1.6437178) on her own initiative, and Orlando Bloom visited (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=954354049774999) Ukraine as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.
The russians are actively spreading fakes about USAID, as it is one of the key institutions that supported Ukraine. In this way, the enemy is trying to sow doubts about the transparency of USAID and Western aid in general. This fits in with the kremlin's general narrative that Ukraine is just a tool in the hands of the United States.
But what is most disgusting is that Elon Musk and Trump's son retweeted this video fake by russian bots from the Matryoshka network. The tweet, which was reposted by Musk and Trump Jr, has already received 3.5 million views.
Ben Stiller has already denied the information presented in the video. "This is a lie that comes from the russian media. I paid for my humanitarian trip to Ukraine entirely on my own. There was no funding from USAID and certainly no payments", he wrote on his X account (https://x.com/BenStiller/status/1887202576845971637).
As a reminder, President Donald Trump's administration has decided to eliminate USAID. This process is personally led by Elon Musk. He has already made several high-profile statements about the inefficiency of USAID and the great waste. However, the use of outright fakes calls into question the honesty and transparency of the entire process of reorganising government structures, which one of the richest men in the world has enthusiastically undertaken.
