Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?

Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has publicly criticized the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), suggesting it should be dismantled due to its alleged involvement in what he describes as "propaganda" and "corruption." His comments came after USAID's website experienced a temporary outage, which was attributed to technical issues by the agency. Musk's critique focuses on USAID's role in foreign aid, which he believes often serves political agendas rather than humanitarian ones. This has sparked a debate about the effectiveness and transparency of USAID's operations. The website disappearance, although resolved quickly, raised questions about the agency's digital infrastructure and its vulnerability, adding fuel to Musk's argument for its dissolution. However, supporters of USAID argue that it plays a crucial role in global development, disaster relief, and promoting democracy, highlighting the need for reform rather than abolition.
