This is a narrative I've been seeing crop up in some radlib places. Is it at all true? I thought the US backed SA pretty extensively mostly. Anyone have any good sources on this claim?

The narrative is that Musk has some long term grudge with USAID over this.

Thanks for this detail. So much of the info I came across fits within this, where there is a big deal made out of the Reagan veto being overturned, Bush senior 'changing course from Reagan', etc. But when I skimmed the wiki page, I didn't even see a reference to US being any significant force in ending the apartheid regime.
