The human cost of DOGE's government overhaul is staggering. When Elon Musk's efficiency team dismantled USAID in early 2025, staff plummeted from 10,000 to 300 overnight. Boston University estimates 700,000+ people died in the first year after funding cuts to malaria, HIV & TB programs worldwide.

His book, Into the Wood Chipper, exposes the chaos behind the shutdown now under congressional investigation. Was this efficiency… or catastrophe? https://www.wired.com/story/usaid-whistleblower-says-it-was-even-worse-than-people-knew/
