Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting down USAID (CNBC):

Musk, the head of Trump’s government efficiency initiative, announced the shutdown in the middle of the night in an audio-only appearance on his social media site X. 

“We’re shutting it down,” he said. At another point, he said “we’re in the process” of “shutting down USAID.”
