Current and former USAID employees are scrambling to save their bloated bureaucracy, launching a lawsuit against Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for doing exactly what Trump put them there to do—root out corruption and waste.
The lawsuit, filed on Feb. 13 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, claims Musk holds too much power in the federal government and should have been confirmed by the Senate—a desperate Hail Mary attempt to shut down the most effective anti-corruption effort in modern history.
Deep State Meltdown: USAID Fights for Survival
The real reason for this lawsuit? DOGE has been dismantling USAID’s unchecked spending and corruption from the inside.
The anonymous USAID plaintiffs claim Musk’s team targets wasteful federal programs, embeds reformers within agencies, and then pulls back the curtain on deep-state rot—exposing their inefficiency for all to see.
Their own lawsuit admits the truth:
“Musk and DOGE dismantle an agency from within by severely disrupting or crippling operations while posting about their actions on X.”
Translation? Musk is exposing their racket, and they’re furious.
Musk Calls Out USAID’s Corruption—And He’s Not Wrong
Elon Musk has made it clear that USAID isn’t about ‘aid’—it’s about enriching globalist elites and laundering taxpayer money.
On Feb. 6, Musk called out USAID for its corrupt dealings, posting:
“The money laundering is done through several intermediaries.”
And he didn’t stop there. Musk has repeatedly referred to USAID as a ‘viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists’, suggesting it should be completely dismantled.
Meanwhile, Deputy USAID head Pete Marocco confirmed what we all knew—entrenched bureaucrats inside USAID have been actively resisting oversight, refusing to cooperate with Trump’s push to audit and reform the agency’s operations.
Marco Rubio: USAID “Not Functioning”
Even Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed USAID’s deep state antics, saying the agency is “not functioning” as it should and needs to be cleaned out.
The lawsuit comes just days after a federal judge blocked plans to place thousands of USAID workers on leave, proving that the deep state will stop at nothing to protect its turf.
What’s Next? Musk, DOGE, and Trump Aren’t Backing Down
Musk, DOGE, and the Trump administration are pushing forward, and no amount of legal tantrums from career bureaucrats will stop the dismantling of their corrupt empire.
The deep state is on the ropes, and this lawsuit is nothing more than a last-ditch attempt to stop their long-overdue reckoning.
