USAID is evil, criminal organization – Elon Musk

Tech billionaire, Elon Musk, who leads President Donald Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, has moved to seize control of the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID.
Musk took a dig at USAID on his social media platform X, writing, “USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die.”
He also wrote several other posts about the agency, saying things like, “USAID was a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America” and “USAID is evil.”
Fox News reports that more than 50 senior USAID staff members were placed on administrative leave and subjected to a gag order.
The gag order implies that they were not allowed to communicate with anyone outside the agency without approval.
According to the report, citing congressional sources, signs were also removed from USAID’s headquarters in the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., and the DOGE team took over the computer systems.
USAID, an independent agency, is responsible for distributing civilian foreign aid and development assistance to countries around the globe.
The agency was said to have managed approximately $40 billion in appropriations in 2024.
Trump administration had on Sunday placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after refusing to turn over classified material in restricted areas to DOGE.
The development came after initially being refused access to USAID’s classified information.
However, DOGE eventually gained that access on Saturday, allowing them to see things like intelligence reports.
