Elon Musk spoke with President Trump this morning about the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and Trump agreed that the agency should be shut down.
Staffers who work at the Washington D.C. agency have been told not to come to work today. Over 600 agency employees were locked out of the computer system overnight.
The AP reported that those still in the system received emails saying that “at the direction of Agency leadership,” the headquarters building “will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, Feb. 3.”
Musk announced that he asked Trump to do it.
“It became apparent that its not an apple with a worm it in,” Musk said in a live session on X Spaces early Monday. “What we have is just a ball of worms. You’ve got to basically get rid of the whole thing. It’s beyond repair.”
“We’re shutting it down,” he said.
The AP Report
Musk, Trump, and some Republican lawmakers, including Joni Ernst, have targeted the U.S. aid and development agency, which oversees humanitarian, development, and security programs in some 120 countries, [and far-left causes. They even fund Trump prosecutors.]
Over the weekend, the Trump administration placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Musk’s government inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, earlier carried out a similar operation at the Treasury Department, gaining access to sensitive information, including the Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems.
USAID, whose website vanished Saturday without explanation, has been one of the federal agencies most targeted by the Trump administration.
“It’s been run by a bunch of radical lunatics. And we’re getting them out,” Trump told reporters about USAID on Sunday night.
Those of us who believe in small government rejoice!

The proverb is true. “The love of money is the root of all evil. ” They are not incompetent. They are doing it on purpose. Many people choose the easy path in life for promotions and recognition. Instead of doing what they love to do, they sell their soul for money. It’s the whole system that’s broken. Doing no work and getting paid is stealing and against God’s Iaw. We need God back in our lives.
Outstanding. Investigations also need to be conducted and everyone involved in shady activities needs to be banned for life from any and all federal positions to include any contracting companies working for the feds.
