This whole effort was brazenly illegal. From the big picture down to innumerable individual acts. But even if course was shifted now, which is basically unimaginable, Musk likely has already essentially destroyed the organization. Under the best circs will take years or decades to rebuild.
USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
