PEOPLE ARE BLAMING ELON MUSK FOR “DEATHS” FROM USAID CUTS — BUT THE DATA AND REALITY SAY OTHERWISE
Opponents are loudly claiming that cutting wasteful USAID spending is killing people in poor countries.
Here’s what’s actually happening:
• No evidence of mass deaths — Preliminary 2025 mortality data from several African countries shows no increase in deaths after major USAID cuts. In some places, deaths even decreased.
• USAID had serious problems — Widespread waste, fraud, and misuse of taxpayer money. Multiple USAID officials have been charged with stealing funds and pled guilty. Programs included bizarre spending like drag shows in Ecuador, pushing certain ideologies abroad, and even influencing foreign elections.
• Good parts were preserved — Effective humanitarian aid was transferred to the State Department. Only the wasteful, fraudulent, or politically weaponized portions were cut.
• Fearmongering with models — Claims of “millions dying” come from projections and assumptions, not actual body counts. No one can name specific victims caused by the cuts.
