Elon Musk Founder and CEO of various world-recognized companies including Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, is the richest man in the world and the first person to dominate History’s rich list. After Donald Trump won the election Elon Musk has been behind USAID alleging the whole system of USAID.
Elon Musk the head of the Department of Government of Efficiency (DOGE), took to social platform X to give statements regarding USAID’s unusual activity and tagged the organization as a ‘Criminal Organization’. On X Elon Musk wrote urging that USAID should be shut down, where he accused it to financing harmful programs.
Not only Elon Musk but also Trump is also seen to take bold steps. After his inauguration on 20 January 2025, Donald Trump announced imposing a 90-day freeze on foreign aid. He branded the agency as ‘corrupt’, and accused it of using taxpayer money in a wrong way.
Donal Trump took X platform to speak on USAID, where he wrote, “For decades, USAID bureaucrats believed they were accountable to no one – but that era is over. President Trump is STOPPING the waste, fraud, and abuse.” Elon Musk friend of Donald Trump supported this statement while echoing and saying, “crazy waste of your tax money”.
While these steps of billionaires and Presidents have been in progress at the same time Indian original CEO of Perplexity AI commented through X post while challenging Elon Musk. Perplexity AI CEO Arvind Srinivas wrote in the post, “Considering raising $500B from USAID. Funding secured. Stop me if you can @elonmusk,” tagging Peter Marocco, a key figure from the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).”
