With USAID being a key provider of global food assistance and employing 10,000 people, this decision raises questions about the future of international aid efforts amidst ongoing organizational turmoil.
Musk described USAID as 'evil' and a 'viper's nest of radical-left marxists who hate America,' underscoring the agency's contentious status under the current administration.
