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.
This is from another article about this situation yesterday:
Just to show you how fucking stupid this all is.
They’re speedrunning dismantling the government, while everyone is staring in disbelief, muttering “This can’t be possible, surely they aren’t allowed to do this?”
Well, they don’t care. And it works, cause all the “watchdogs” are overwhelmed by their speed.
The “watchdogs” are you! The people are the watchdogs, and always have been. No one else is going to bail you out. You need to take to the streets and do it yourselves.
Trump fired all the “watchdogs”

We should be attacking them. They should be frantically attempting their coup under gunfire.
