Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with the support of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), dismantles USAID’s bloated bureaucracy, ending decades of taxpayer-funded corruption and left-wing globalist agendas.
• 83% of USAID programs canceled, totaling 5,200 contracts worth tens of billions of dollars.
• Remaining 18% of programs to be overseen by the State Department, ensuring accountability and alignment with U.S. interests.
• USAID exposed as a Deep State slush fund, funneling taxpayer dollars to radical NGOs, destabilizing allies, and undermining American values.
• Elon Musk’s DOGE hailed as instrumental in uncovering USAID’s wasteful spending and partisan abuses.
Rubio and Musk take on gargantuan corruption
In a historic move that has sent shockwaves through Washington, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the cancellation of 83% of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) programs, effectively dismantling one of the Deep State’s most egregious tools for advancing a far-left globalist agenda. After a six-week review conducted in collaboration with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Rubio revealed that 5,200 contracts—worth tens of billions of taxpayer dollars — were terminated for failing to serve, and in some cases actively harming, U.S. national interests.
“The 5,200 contracts that are now canceled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, and in some cases even harmed, the core national interests of the United States,” Rubio stated in a post on X. He added that the remaining 18% of programs, approximately 1,000, will now be administered “more effectively under the State Department.”
This sweeping reform marks the end of an era in which USAID operated as a shadowy slush fund for progressive NGOs, left-wing media outlets, and even extremist groups. For decades, the agency funneled billions of taxpayer dollars into projects that undermined American values, destabilized allies, and promoted radical ideologies worldwide.
USAID’s corruption is not a new revelation, but the scale of its abuses has only recently come to light. Under the guise of “humanitarian aid,” the agency became a taxpayer-funded arm of the Deep State, advancing a far-left agenda that often ran counter to U.S. interests. From funding radical environmental groups to propping up leftist media outlets, USAID’s tentacles reached into every corner of the globe, sowing chaos and division.
One of the most egregious examples of USAID’s malfeasance was its interference in foreign elections, often destabilizing allies who were not sufficiently aligned with progressive ideologies. The agency also funneled money to NGOs that opposed free speech, capitalism, and traditional values, effectively using American taxpayer dollars to wage war on the very principles that define the United States.
Elon Musk’s DOGE: the watchdog America needed
The dismantling of USAID would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Established to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal agencies, DOGE has emerged as a critical ally in the fight against the Deep State.
“Tough, but necessary. Good working with you,” Musk tweeted in response to Rubio’s announcement. The billionaire entrepreneur has long been a vocal critic of government waste and inefficiency, and his department’s role in exposing USAID’s corruption has cemented its reputation as a force for accountability.
DOGE’s investigation revealed that USAID’s bloated bureaucracy was not merely inefficient—it was actively harmful. Tens of billions of dollars were wasted on projects that did nothing to advance U.S. interests, while critical programs were neglected. By bringing these abuses to light, DOGE has paved the way for much-needed reforms.
For decades, American taxpayers have been forced to foot the bill for USAID’s globalist agenda, watching helplessly as their hard-earned dollars were funneled into projects that undermined their values and interests. The agency’s cancellation of 83% of its programs represents a long-overdue reckoning, one that will save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars while ensuring that remaining aid programs are aligned with U.S. priorities.
