A fiery public feud erupted between Elon Musk and Hillary Clinton over Musk’s aggressive audits of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). As head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk aims to slash wasteful government spending under President Trump’s directive.
Clinton accused Musk of “reckless” cuts, warning that defunding international aid risks global instability and undermines U.S. diplomacy. Musk fired back, calling USAID a “slush fund” and accusing it of funneling billions into corrupt hands.
