Musk says work to stop Ebola was accidentally cut but restored. Experts raise doubts
Briefly

During a cabinet meeting, Elon Musk discussed his collaboration with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), acknowledging mistakes in their efforts, including a brief cancellation of Ebola prevention support. He claimed that restoration of these efforts happened quickly. However, public health experts dispute his assertion, indicating that while U.S. assistance was interrupted, it has not been fully reinstated, highlighting ongoing challenges in addressing Ebola outbreaks effectively, particularly in regions like Uganda currently facing new challenges.
We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect. When we make mistakes, we'll fix it very quickly. So, for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was Ebola prevention.
I disagree fully, completely, wholly, that they recognized the mistake and put it back. U.S. support has not been fully restored for Ebola prevention.
