Elon Musk's cost-cutting team is finalizing the dismantlement of the US Agency for International Development, ordering the firings of thousands of local workers and American diplomats and civil servants assigned to the agency overseas. The move effectively eliminates the agency's workforce and is part of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency's plan to merge USAID into the State Department. Trump has accused the agency of fraud and being run by 'radical left lunatics,' while Musk falsely labeled it a 'criminal' organization. The shutdown disrupts global humanitarian aid efforts and affects more than 60 countries.
