USAID closes HQ to staffers Monday as Musk says Trump supports shutting agency down

U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) staffers said that they tracked over 600 workers who reported getting locked out of the USAID computer systems overnight, according to the Associated Press. People who remained in the system got emails stating that ‘at the direction of Agency leadership’ the headquarters facility ‘will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, Feb. 3.’

Elon Musk, who is spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort, had said during an X spaces conversation that President Donald Trump agreed that the USAID should be shut down.

Musk indicated that the shut-down process is underway. 

He said that unlike an apple contaminated by a worm, the agency is ‘a bowl of worms.’

‘There is no apple,’ he said. ‘It’s beyond repair.’

Musk noted that the more he has gotten to know Trump, the more he likes the president.

‘Frankly, I love the guy. He’s great,’ the business tycoon said of the commander in chief.

Musk has been excoriating USAID in posts on X.

‘USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die,’ he tweeted.

‘USAID was a viper’s nest of radical-left marxists who hate America,’ he asserted.

‘We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could [have] gone to some great parties. Did that instead,’ Musk noted.
