USAID Is A Criminal Organisation, It’s Time For It To Die —Elon Musk Says

 

This followed days of speculation over the future of the organisation after its funding was frozen and dozens of its employees were put on leave.

American billionaire and owner of X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, has described US Agency for International Development (USAID) as a criminal organisation, saying it is time for the agency to die as President Donald Trump has agreed that there is the need to “shut down” the agency.

This followed days of speculation over the future of the organisation after its funding was frozen and dozens of its employees were put on leave.

It was gathered that USAID senior officials were put on leave after physically trying to stop the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the agency’s systems.

 

Two USAID officials, John Voorhees and his deputy, have been put on leave after refusing to allow DOGE members access to USAID systems.
