Trump shutting down USAID.
You may remember USAID from such films as "We Forced Peru to Sterilize It's Citizens" and "Working Undercover With the CIA To Destabilize Governments"
Musk investigated their spending, and concluded it was so rotten the agency shouldn't even exist.
Democrats are literally imploding over the fact they won't be able to covertly destabilize foreign nations as easily.

USAID 'Shutting Down'—Elon Musk
Elon Musk said the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) will be shut down.
The billionaire said during an X Spaces stream early on Monday discussing the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that President Donald Trump "agreed" with him that the agency should be shut down.
"I actually checked with him a few times. Said 'Are you sure?' Yes, so we're shutting it down," Musk said.
Foreign assistance accounts for about 1 percent of the federal budget, and USAID has been one of the agencies targeted by the Trump administration in a crackdown on the federal government and many of its programs.
Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office imposing an unprecedented freeze on foreign assistance that shut down many of USAID's programs, saying his administration will review spending to ensure money is distributed in line with his "America First" foreign policy.
Musk, who formed DOGE with the Trump administration with the aim of finding ways to slash federal spending, claimed during the stream that USAID's work was "incredibly politically partisan" without offering evidence.
"As we dug into USAID, it became apparent that what we have here is not an apple with a worm it in but hat we have actually just a ball of worms," Musk said.
"USAID is a ball of worms, there is no apple. And when there is no apple... you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing. That is why it's got to go. It's beyond repair."
