New reporting shows USAID was investigating one of Elon Musk's companies at the time that he attacked the aid agency.

USAID 's inspector general was in the process of investigating its own public-private partnership between Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government.

Musk has called the agency “evil” and a “criminal organization,” though the fact that USAID had been investigating his company may suggest ulterior motivations.
