"Elon Musk, a billionaire who decimated the United States federal workforce using the Department of Government Efficiency, is not remembered fondly by the most powerful woman in Washington: Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff and the gatekeeper to President Donald Trump. In several on-the-record interviews with Vanity Fair's Chris Whipple conducted over the past year, Wiles, who had corralled the notoriously backstabby Trump political operation into coherence and discipline, described Musk as a "complete solo actor""
""I was initially aghast," Wiles told Whipple. "Because I think anybody that pays attention to government and has ever paid attention to USAID believed, as I did, that they do very good work." This week, The Center for Global Development published a report estimating that USAID humanitarian aid cuts could contribute to the deaths of 500,000 to 700,000 individuals a year."
