Billionaire Entrepreneur Elon Musk, now in charge of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, said Monday that he and President Donald Trump are going to shutter the United States Agency for International Development.

“We’re shutting it down,” he reportedly said in an audio conversation on X Spaces, part of the social media platform X. “With regards to the USAID stuff, I went over it with (the president) in detail and he agreed that we should shut it down.”

 In addition, Musk wrote on X: "We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper."

However, Trump has not confirmed that the agency is being shut down. 

Musk's announcement was not entirely unexpected, considering the administration recenty froze USAID funding and put dozens of its employees on leave.

The USAID is the agency most responsible for sending aid to other countries in need of development and humanitarian work. 

Trump has criticized the agency in the past including saying it was "run by a bunch of radical lunatics."

Officials in the Trump administration have floated the possibility of putting the USAID under the authority of the State Department, according to NBC News.
