According to the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, Treasury secretary Scott Bessent on Friday granted Elon Musk and his minions at the faux agency DOGE full access to the Treasury’s massive federal payment system.

The billionaire said the agency was being shut down hours after President Donald Trump said it was being run by "a bunch of radical lunatics."

Elon Musk called USAID a criminal organization that should “die.” Proponents say it’s a key arm of U.S. influence that, if destroyed, “cannot be easily rebuilt.”
