Elon Musk Says Trump ‘Agreed’ To Shut Down USAID: It’s Just ‘Bowl of Warms’ and ‘Beyond Repair’

‘You’ve got to basically get rid of the whole thing’

TRANSCRIPT:

MUSK: “As we dug into USAID, it became apparent that what we have here is, is not an apple with a worm in it, but we have actually just a bowl of worms. There is no apple. ... You’ve just got to basically get rid of the whole thing. ... It’s beyond — it’s beyond repair. ... So really, None of this could be done without the full support of the president. ... I went over it with him, you know, in detail, and he agreed with — that we should shut it down. ... I actually checked with him a few times. I said, ‘Are you sure? Like, yes.’ So we’re shutting it down.”
