Elon Musk has launched a full frontal attack on the United States Agency for International Development, popularly known by its acronym, USAID. The USAID is an organization considered notorious for its role in backing regime change operations through its ‘NGO’ entities in different countries.
But, the grave allegations against the USAID were often brushed labelled as conspiracy theories. However, the same has now been validated by the Trump government. The Trump regime has now announced a crackdown on the entity labelled as a “criminal organisation” by Elon Musk.
Elon Musk, the Head of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has shared multiple posts to expose the shoddy and nefarious activities of the USAID. In a series of tweets, Musk has called the USAID a “criminal organisation” that “should be shut down”.
Trump’s Republican government including his close ally Elon Musk has highlighted USAID’s deep involvement with the radical leftists, Democrats, and covert NGOs. They are constantly exposing how the USAID was using US taxpayers’ money to indirectly fund “regime change” operations throughout the world in the garb of protecting and promoting democracy.
Earlier, President Donald Trump had also taken aim at the USAID saying that it is an organisation “run by radical lunatics” and suggested that its future was uncertain.
What is USAID?
USAID is an ‘independent’ agency managing a $42.8 billion budget for humanitarian aid. It has now become a focal point in Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s campaign to curb what they see as wasteful government spending.
A close ally of Trump, Musk has also raised questions on USAID noting that it had funded “bioweapon research”. His remarks align with the broader efforts of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which is tasked with reviewing expenditures.
Trump’s pick for Secretary of Health, Robert F Kennedy Jr has also exposed the controversial activities of the USAID. While interacting with popular journalist Tucker Carlson, Robert F Kennedy Jr highlighted that USAID is nothing but a CIA front to destabilise governments around the world by using billions of dollars.
He mentioned that USAID spent billions to overthrow the Ukrainian government and install Zelensky. According to Musk, “USAID is a CIA front that used $5B in 2014 to ignite a Colour Revolution in Ukraine. Victoria Nuland picked the new Government a month before the old Government was overthrown.”
Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Robert Kennedy Jr are relentlessly exposing USAID for what it is. It is well known that American foreign intervention has been responsible for the violent coup of the democratically elected Sheikh Hasina govt from Bangladesh and then bringing puppet, Mohammed Yunus, to run Bangladesh.
Not just in Bangladesh and Ukraine, the US deep state also wanted similar things in India too. Incidentally, a few months earlier, India’s ruling party, BJP also lashed out at the US deep state and the infamous billionaire George Soros for trying to destabilize India.
French Media Outlet Mediapart had also highlighted a “dangerous triangle” involving billionaire George Soros, US-based agencies, and the OCCRP. Mediapart had exposed the financial backing of controversial organisations like OCCRP. In its investigation, Mediapart revealed that nearly half of its funding comes from U.S. entities, including $47 million from the U.S. government. With strong ties to U.S. agencies and support from figures like George Soros, OCCRP’s activities have been linked to causing rifts within nations. These activities undermine national sovereignty and instigate divisions.
USAID has a history of political interference in countries under the guise of promoting democracy and providing aid. Its funding patterns often align with US geopolitical interests, destabilising governments not aligned with US policies. In India, the shift in OCCRP’s focus to Indian politics fits a pattern seen in other countries like Bangladesh, where U.S.-funded groups have been accused of meddling in domestic affairs.
Now as per the latest information, the USAID website and its X account have been disabled. This clearly indicates that the New Trump govt is in no mood to spare this controversial agency that has been funding organisations, and entities that are inimical to the interests of the country they base their organization in. It is important to note that the Trump administration has also implemented a 3 month funding freeze upon the USAID. All things indicate that the end is nigh for the regime change NGO.
