Musk calls USAID a ‘criminal organization’ that should ‘die’
The Hill ^ | 02/02/25 8:29 PM ET | by Lauren Irwin

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said he believes the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is a “criminal organization” that should “die.”

“USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die,” Musk posted to the social platform X, which he owns.

Musk was responding to the news that senior officials at USAID physically attempted to block people from Musk’s new advisory board, the “Department of Government Efficiency,” from having access to secure systems, NBC News reported.

The Trump administration is making USAID a target in its wide-ranging changes to the federal government. In a three-page letter last week, it was revealed President Trump is considering merging the organization into a branch under the State Department.

Several federal websites have gone dark in recent days, including USAID’s.

Ever since I watched Candace Owens give her take on Musk’s “my heart is with you” salute to the crowd at Trump’s inauguration, I have more respect for him.

It’s Samantha Power’s private reserve. So yes, a criminal organization.

USAID has Missions in more than 80 countries and programs in more than 100. We work in a variety of technical areas: agriculture; economic growth; environment; education; democracy, human rights, and governance; women's empowerment; water and sanitation; and global health

Not the US Government's job. If people want this then they can donate to, or work for, NGOS

Money laundering experts. Track the money that RATS and Repukes made off its shenanigans.

It’s likely a large part of the See-Eye-Heh in action.

The big NGOs work under government grants. So it is the same thing.

Time to stop all of it.

Why did USAID pay $20 million to hit piece journalists to dig up dirt on Rudy Giuliani and use that dirt as the basis to impeach the sitting US President in 2019?

It was created by JFK’s executive order in 1961. It can be changed by Trump’s executive order in 2025.

In light of those five question I have one of my own.

Why hasn’t USAID been hit like ISIS terrorists in a Somali cave?

Is Trump administration going to get a stay, injunction to stop the court from preventing the freeze?
It’s reasonable to believe that there’s fraud or misappropriation of funds to harmful interests.
