Description:

Elon Musk thinks the peak US foreign aid agency is ‘evil’ and so in his powerful position as Donald Trump’s cost cutter he’s getting rid of it.

USAID was set up by President John F. Kennedy and supports humanitarian projects across the globe. 

Already there are reports of people dying on the Thai-Myanmar border when a US supported hospital in a refugee camp was abruptly shut down. 

So, what’s Mr Musk up to and why?
