Summary

Elon Musk responded angrily to accusations that DOGE's cuts to USAID have resulted in deaths, claiming critics cannot name a single person who died. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof countered by naming four specific individuals, including an 8-year-old girl, who he says died after USAID-backed services were disrupted. A study cited in the article suggests Musk's closure of USAID could cause millions of child deaths.
