Donald Trump and Musk criticize USAID, Call it

    Donald Trump and Musk criticize USAID, Call it "Incompetent" & "Corrupt"

    On February 11, 2025, former President Donald Trump and Tesla founder Elon Musk criticized the U.S. foreign aid agency USAID, calling it "incompetent" and "corrupt" during a White House press conference. Musk, who now heads the Department of Government Efficiency, acknowledged that USAID does some good work but argued that it interferes too much in elections in dishonest ways. Trump supported this, saying he was elected to ensure government honesty and promised to look into other areas, like education and the military, for oversight. This criticism followed Trump’s January 20 order freezing most U.S. foreign aid, leading to a shutdown of USAID’s programs and staff, with its website going offline and the acting administrator appointed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
