When Musk's minions forced their way into USAID's servers, they made themselves "super administrators" meaning they had access to workers' Social Security numbers, credit histories, and home addresses.

They may have well broken the law.

Donald Trump's nominee to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, was paid $25k by pro-Kremlin filmmaker Igor Lopatonok. Last year, we broke the story of how Lopatonok shopped film pitches to dictators, promising flattering coverage of their regimes. 👇

Elon Musk's DOGE shut down USAID for being wasteful. Fine with us but not very efficient. OCCRP's stories, paid by USAID, helped bring in $3 billion from fines and seizures to the USG. Thats $100 for every dollar spent on us. We fight crime AND lower your tax bill. Sounds like efficiency to me.
