The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) headquarters in Washington, D.C. will be closed to staffers on Monday, as confirmed by sources. Some employees reported being locked out of the agency's computer systems overnight. Those who remained in the system received emails stating that the closure was directed by Agency leadership.
Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, mentioned during an X spaces conversation that President Donald Trump has agreed to shut down USAID. Musk indicated that the shutdown process is already in progress, likening the agency to a bowl of worms beyond repair, rather than a contaminated apple.
