Trump's USAID shutdown threatens the health of millions of South Africans living with HIV

Elon Musk's alleged unconstitutional takeover of parts of the U.S. federal government following Donald Trump's inauguration. Musk, designated a "special government employee," has reportedly gained control over the Treasury Department's payment system and initiated the shutdown of USAID. This has prompted widespread outrage and legal challenges, with Democratic lawmakers and advocacy groups denouncing the actions as a "plutocratic coup" and filing lawsuits. The consequences extend to public health, with reports of increased HIV infections linked to the disruption of USAID programs. President Trump has attempted to downplay the situation, but the severity and potential ramifications are widely debated.
