Elon Musk challenges Bill Gates' criticism of USAID budget cuts, demanding evidence of claimed 'millions of deaths'.
Musk defended DOGE's moves of cutting over 80% of USAID's programs under his leadership and slammed Gates' comments at the Qatar Economic Forum.
Parts of USAID deemed useful were preserved and transferred to the State Department, as Musk criticized USAID for lack of evidence in helping children in need.
Gates had criticized DOGE's approach to cutting government spending, stating it's a mistake, while highlighting USAID's significant aid contributions worldwide.
