Elon Musk, who is spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort, said during an X spaces conversation that President Donald Trump agreed that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) should be shut down.
Musk indicated that unlike an apple contaminated by a worm, the agency is "a bowl of worms."
"There is no apple," he said. "It's beyond repair."
