00:00Breaking news! Elon Musk just revealed that Donald Trump agrees USAID needs to be shut down.
00:05What's really happening behind the scenes? Let's dive in.
00:09In a late-night X Spaces conversation, Musk confirmed that he personally discussed USAID
00:14with Trump, and the president agreed it's time to shut it down.
00:18Musk didn't hold back. He called USAID a ball of worms and claimed the agency was
00:23funding radically left causes worldwide. But here's where things get wild.
00:29USAID's funding was frozen. Dozens of employees were placed on leave.
00:35And Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE,
00:38tried to force their way into USAID headquarters. Yes, you heard that right. According to reports,
00:44DOGE officials even threatened to call US Marshals if they weren't let in.
00:49And Musk? He went all in. He called USAID a criminal organization and said,
00:54Time for it to die.
00:56Meanwhile, top Trump officials are pushing for USAID to be folded into the State Department,
01:02sparking major concerns about how the U.S. handles foreign aid.
01:06Critics argue this move could destroy U.S. soft power.
01:10USAID has been a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy since 1961,
01:15helping to fight poverty, disease, and disaster worldwide.
01:19So, is Trump dismantling an outdated system,
01:22or is this a power grab that weakens America's global influence?
01:26What do you think? Is USAID corrupt, or does it serve a critical purpose?
