Elon Musk announced the elimination of the USAID agency

American billionaire Ilon Musk has announced the launch of the process to liquidate the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). He published the corresponding statement on February 3 in the social network X (former Twitter).

"We are in the process of liquidating USAID," he wrote.

Musk also said that the agency is unrecoverable and should be gotten rid of. According to him, USAID represents "not a wormy apple, but just a lump of worms."

In addition, Musk called the agency a criminal organization that should be terminated. He added that it is "a snake's nest of radical left-wing Marxists who hate America."

As The Hill wrote on February 2, US President Donald Trump said that USAID is run by "radical lunatics." He specified that the administration was getting rid of the agency.

On the same day, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova suggested replacing the name of USAID with "Self-Help Agency" if it resumes its activities, ironically calling it an agency for interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign states.
