Elon Musk, the billionaire adviser to President Trump, is targeting the U.S. Agency for International Development as part of his directive to slash federal spending.USAID provides financial aid to countries around the world.

The group wasn't trying to enter the federal premises in a violent takeover, but rather act as a wall of defense between the government agency and a directive to cease the organization's work as a matter of fiduciary foresight. Later that afternoon, the USAID office shut down. The official USAID website is no longer available.
