A heated exchange erupted between Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),
and Hillary Clinton over Musk’s aggressive audits of USAID spending. Clinton accused Musk
of undermining humanitarian efforts, calling his cuts “reckless and short-sighted.” Musk fired back, alleging USAID funds were being ,
misused and vowing to end “unchecked spending.”Republicans backed Musk’s cost-cutting
mission, while Democrats slammed it as politically motivated. The debate highlights a
deeper divide over America’s role in global aid and diplomacy. Despite criticism,
Musk remains undeterred, hinting at more audits across federal agencies.
