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.
I could be wrong here, but are you sure that’s not a projected outcome due to the fallout vs present has happened.
The numbers I remembered were somewhat wrong. But here’s an article about it.
The projections are it could cost 9.4 million people there lives by 2030 according to this article and 22 million by 2030 according to this article.
Thanks.
Also I didnt know this part at all
You’d have hoped the international community would have also stepped up to help fill in the gaps, not that they would ever have been able to fully fill it. That’s the opposite.
Well in the U.S. a life comes out to about 10,000,000 in court on average. So if he’s caused 10,000 to die, so far, charge him 100,000,000,000. And make it payable to the people he caused harm with, with no ability to declare bankruptcy, you know… Like he supports for every 17/18 year old signing contracts to go to college.
