Musk announced the planned closure of the foreign assistance agency early Monday on social media.

Summary

Elon Musk announced that he and Trump are shutting down USAID, bypassing Congress’s authority over federal spending.

Musk claimed Trump fully supports the move, though Trump has only criticized USAID without explicitly confirming its closure.

The White House has not commented. The administration has already placed USAID officials on leave and reviewed its funding.

Critics argue the move violates federal law, setting up a potential legal battle.

      It should not be hard to interpret

      That you got backed into a corner and called out and now you have nothing to add to the discussion aside from cringe cartoons? No. I got that the moment I tagged you as irrelevant.

          Could be. Trolls do seem to have a universal signature. It’s quite possible I could have you confused with any of the thousands of people just like you.
