Elon Musk has announced that he and President Donald Trump are working together to shut down the foreign aid agency USAID, claiming that the organization is “beyond repair.”

Trump has never shied away from making bold and controversial decisions, and since his return to the White House two weeks ago, he has been signing executive orders at an unprecedented pace. In fact, he set a record for the most executive orders signed on his first day back in office. Among the policies he has enacted are increased tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, as well as adjustments to passport regulations and immigration policies.

Now, Musk—who is actively involved in the Trump administration—has taken to Twitter to discuss the plan to dismantle USAID. During a conversation with Republican senators Joni Ernst and Mike Lee, along with former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk stated: “It’s [USAid] beyond repair. He [Trump] agreed we should shut it down.”

The billionaire further explained his stance, saying: “It became apparent that it’s not an apple with a worm it in. What we have is just a ball of worms. You’ve got to basically get rid of the whole thing.”

His remarks come shortly after two high-ranking security officials at USAID were placed on leave for allegedly refusing to share classified documents with Musk’s team, according to the Associated Press.

Reports indicate that Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE, successfully obtained access to those materials on Sunday, February 2.

Replying to a post about the situation, Musk didn’t hold back, stating: “USAid is a criminal organization. Time for it to die.”
