Elon Musk is right about USAID
I suspect few people outside the Washington nexus had ever heard of the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, until recently. Yet this independent agency manages a budget of nearly $50 billion, which is more than the CIA and State Department combined. Under Joe Biden, its head was Samantha Power, Barack Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations. What do they spend the money on? It is supposed to help the United States project “soft power” by injecting US aid to needy entities around the world. But it is not really about aid. What in fact does, as the commentator Mike Benz noted, is to coordinate “clandestine operations through foreign left-wing NGOs.
