USAID staffers told to stay out of Washington headquarters after Musk said Trump agreed to close it

Staffers of the U.S. Agency for International Development have been instructed to stay out of its Washington headquarters after billionaire Elon Musk announced President Donald Trump had agreed with him to shut the agency. That's according to a notice distributed to the staffers early Monday. USAID staffers say they tracked 600 employees who reported being locked out of the agency’s computer systems overnight. Those still in the system received emails saying “at the direction of Agency leadership” the headquarters building “will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, Feb. 3.” The developments come after Musk said he'd spoken with Trump about the U.S. aid and development agency and the Republican president agreed they should shut it.
