Both are useful in achieveing American political aims abroad, so getting rid of them seems like a bad choice from the perspective of the US government

I'm well aware of the controversial nature of USAID, and I don't deny that it is possibly desirable to wind it down for moral reasons - although not like that, obviously.

But I guarantee you Trump isn't intelligent enough to consider that. He's just wrecking it as visibly as possible to please his NASCAR-loving fan base.

Musk on the other hand probably has other motives.
