Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Monday that he and President Donald Trump were in the process of shutting down the USAID, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy.

Musk, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), has been on a posting spree, using his platform to justify and denigrate his takeover of USAID. He’s called the agency " evil ," a " criminal organization ," and a "viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America."

Trump is reportedly trying to close the agency and move it under the State Department, which Democrats warn would be illegal.
