Elon Musk called USAID a criminal organization that should “die.” Proponents say it’s a key arm of U.S. influence that, if destroyed, “cannot be easily rebuilt.”

Trump is reportedly trying to close the agency and move it under the State Department, which Democrats warn would be illegal.

Americans don’t know the full extent of what Musk is doing as he embeds alongside President Donald Trump at the top of the federal government.
