President Donald Trump’s ally Elon Musk targeted the U.S. Agency for International Development and its $40 billion budget as Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he is now its executive director. It comes as the DOGE team is granted access to the Treasury Department’s payment systems and Musk is given top secret security clearance.

Staffers at the U.S. Agency for International Development were told the agency’s main building in Washington was closed on Monday and they should work from home. The email came early Monday morning, soon after tech mogul and President Donald Trump ally Elon Musk said he had spoken to the president, who agreed to close down the agency.
