Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman has delivered a blistering public attack on Elon Musk, accusing the billionaire of helping trigger a humanitarian disaster through cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Paul Krugman podcast, the economist alleged that reductions to foreign aid programmes under Musk's watch contributed to 'millions of unnecessary deaths, including millions of children.'
