Destruction of world’s largest humanitarian programme was done without formal authority or official oversight, former USAID employees claim
Elon Musk, leader of the Trump administration’s now-disbanded Department of Government Efficiency, must sit for depositions along with senior State Department officials over their role in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
Pointing to findings that Musk had made the decision to break up USAID – one of the world’s largest humanitarian programs – despite lacking formal authority or official approval – District Judge Theodore Chuang wrote that there was “no alternative” than for Musk and other officials to provide testimony regarding their decision-making process.
The ruling represents a win for a group of anonymous former USAID employees who are suing Musk, DOGE and State Department officials over the closure.



The administration doesn’t want our security rebuilt, if we did that Russia, China and other foreign and domestic agents trying to get their capital-seeking tentacles into our every-day lives, extracting our every last cent, won’t have a back-door into your personal information and shopping habits and profiles of your specific emotional vulnerabilities so the algorithm can feed you just news stories that validate and reinforce your feelings towards their specific agendas.
Who cares what this corrupt administration wants we should arrest them with a second amendment mob and all the Israeli backed politicians too
