A group of 26 current and former USAID employees have filed a lawsuit against South African billionaire Elon Musk and his co-called Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE,” seeking a court injunction to stop the world’s richest man from dismantling their agency without formal Senate confirmation.
The hurried, slipshod hatchet that Musk and the band of young sidekicks he hired for the task — one of them, a recent high school graduate who goes by the nickname “Big Balls” — have taken to USAID, in particular, has not only put crucial foreign aid initiatives and the lives of the less fortunate in jeopardy, it has put people’s careers, as well as their personal safety, at risk, according to the complaint.
