On Sunday, members of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) showed up at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Washington, D.C. and attempted to enter the facility even though they had no credentials to do so.
“According to sources, personnel from the Musk-created office first physically tried to access the USAID headquarters in Washington, DC, and were stopped,” CNN reports. The DOGE personnel demanded to be let in and threatened to call US Marshals to be allowed access, two of the sources said.”
“The DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to USAID security systems and personnel files, three sources said. Two of those sources also said the DOGE personnel wanted access to classified information, which only those with security clearances and a specific need to know are able to access.”
USAID was established in 1961 during the Kennedy administration. It disperses humanitarian aid in foreign nations to help alleviate poverty, prevent and treat diseases, and respond to natural disasters.
But according to Musk, USAID is a “criminal organization.”
“Time for it to die,” he declared on the social media platform he owns.
Reaction to the fact that some of Musk’s forcing their way into USAID set off alarm bells across the nation’s capital.
“This is a five-alarm fire. The people elected Donald Trump to be President – not Elon Musk,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) warned. “Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security. This should not be a partisan issue.”
Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, noted, “This is a grave national security threat.”
Others also joined the debate over the incursion at USAID headquarters.
Elon Musk wasn’t elected to any government office in the 2024 election. Hell, he wasn’t even born in the United States! And yet it seems that he now has control over the US government and is being allowed to serve as the unelected leader of the most powerful nation on the globe.
This shit has got to stop and stop now! It’s time We the People took back control of this nation before Musk and his minions destroy what’s left of it.
