Elon Musk's claims that the Ebola response in Uganda was uninterrupted faced scrutiny as the Trump administration terminated significant contracts essential for outbreak management. Four contracts aimed at funding airport screenings and protective gear for health workers were canceled amidst a broader termination of 10,000 contracts on the same day. Despite reassurances, former U.S.A.I.D. officials indicated that the interruption persisted, with monetary support being critically low, leaving organizations unable to continue their work effectively against the Ebola virus, which Uganda is just starting to control after a severe outbreak.
Musk assured Cabinet members the efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak in Uganda were not interrupted, but former officials claim his reassurances were inaccurate.
