Summary

Elon Musk announced the closure of USAID during a DOGE update on X, calling it “a ball of worms” and “beyond repair.”

The decision follows reports of internal conflicts over DOGE’s involvement in restricted areas. Trump backed the move, criticizing USAID leadership.

An internal email instructed non-essential staff to stay home. The Trump administration pressures USAID to align with its America First agenda.

Critics see Musk’s remarks as informal and conspiracy-driven.
