Musk and Trump Supporters Welcome U.S.A.I.D. Changes Amid Concerns for Democracy Initiatives
The dismantlement of U.S.A.I.D. under Musk and Trump's direction has been praised by authoritarian leaders. Critics fear the loss of democracy and human rights funding will weaken global initiatives against oppression.
Amidst growing criticism of U.S.A.I.D., Elon Musk's actions to dismantle the agency have been celebrated by foreign leaders opposed to democratic aid programs. Former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev applauded the decision as a smart move, while Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele also expressed satisfaction.
