The head of the Department of Efficiency of the US government (DOGE), Elon Musk, accused former US President Joe Biden of "killing" chickens. According to him, Biden "ordered" the killing of tens of millions of chickens.
"By order of the Biden administration, an insane murder of 150 million laying hens took place," Musk said in a message on the social network X.
According to CNN, the "killings" were a requirement of the US Department of Agriculture to contain the spread of highly contagious bird flu. It has infected 100 million birds since 2022, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
