Department Of Government Efficiency Chair and billionaire Elon Musk said Monday President Donald Trump had signed off on shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a move that would send ripple effects through Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as several parts of the world.
"It became apparent that it's not an apple with a worm in it," 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," he said. "We're shutting it down," he continued.
