  • USAID sent a message on Monday morning telling employees based in DC to work remotely, without saying whether and when headquarters would reopen.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has reassured its employees that it will continue its operations, despite a social media post by Elon Musk suggesting that the agency was going to be shut down. USAID's Chief Operating Officer, Tara Wolfe, sent an internal memo to staff members stating that the agency remains committed to its mission and will not be closing. This clarification came after Musk, known for his influential social media presence, posted a message implying the closure of USAID, which led to confusion and concern among the agency's workforce. Wolfe emphasized the importance of USAID's work in promoting democracy, responding to humanitarian crises, and advancing global health, urging employees to continue their efforts with confidence in the agency's ongoing operations.
