USAID Workforce Slashed From 10,000 to Under 300 as Elon Musk’s DOGE Decimates Agency

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has seen a drastic reduction in its workforce from 10,000 employees to less than 300 after Elon Musk’s cryptocurrency, DOGE, caused major financial losses for the agency.

DOGE, which Musk has been actively promoting on social media, experienced a sudden crash in value, leading to significant budget cuts and layoffs at USAID.

The agency, known for its work in providing humanitarian aid and development assistance to countries in need, now faces a major crisis as it struggles to maintain its operations with such a reduced staff.

Many former employees of USAID have expressed shock and disbelief at the sudden turn of events, with some questioning the decision to invest in a volatile cryptocurrency like DOGE.

USAID officials have declined to comment on the situation, citing ongoing investigations into the cause of the financial losses and the agency’s next steps moving forward.

As the fallout from Musk’s DOGE continues to reverberate across the agency, there are concerns about the long-term impact on USAID’s ability to fulfill its mission and provide assistance to those in need.

Critics of Musk have seized on the situation as evidence of the dangers of unregulated cryptocurrencies and the influence of high-profile individuals like Musk on financial markets.

It remains to be seen how USAID will recover from this crisis and whether it will be able to rebuild its workforce and continue its important work in the future.
