USAID workers are warning that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is throwing foreign aid into chaos and the agency’s vital HIV/AIDS work is still being blocked — despite the Trump administration stating “lifesaving” programs would be exempt from the freeze.

The Trump Administration claims it is allowing "lifesaving" foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives.

The USAID systems the DOGE team tried to access included personnel files, three sources familiar with the events told NBC News.

Young staffers from Musk’s government-efficiency initiative gained access to sensitive information to cap a weeklong effort that puts the aid agency’s fate in question.

President Trump made Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a 'special government employee' at the White House. Here's what that means.

Trump is reportedly trying to close the agency and move it under the State Department, which Democrats warn would be illegal.

The billionaire said the agency was being shut down hours after President Donald Trump said it was being run by "a bunch of radical lunatics."

Sources tell CBS News that personnel from the Elon Musk-run Department of Government Efficiency were involved in an altercation with security officials at USAID. This comes as reports emerge of changes to the federal agency.

Democratic lawmakers say shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development is illegal, vowing legal challenges.
