There seems to be a slight of hand going on here.

The only grant listed in this thread [1] is for "International development and humanitarian assistance" with a sub function of "Consortium For Elections & Political Process Strengthening".

There's no evidence shown that this grant money is being used to _overthrow_ a democratically elected government.

Also, given that the initially 21 Million claim isn't actually backed up by a specific grant. It's more likely just a fraudulent claim by Musk and you should stop listening to him. I mean it's really trivial to list the grant when you canceled it ...

You have to be gullible as shit—falling for the fraud—to think State Department funding for “democracy” in a third world country friendly to Russia isn’t for destabilizing the government.[1] If the shoe were on the other foot, foreign money being used to “fortify elections” in the U.S. you’d immediately see it for what it is.
