Musk’s Government Efficiency Aide Joins USAID as Marocco Returns to State Department

A member of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is set to take a top role at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), according to an email seen by Reuters. Meanwhile, Pete Marocco, who previously played a key role in dismantling parts of USAID, will return to the State Department.

The appointments reflect the Trump administration’s continued efforts to reshape U.S. foreign aid and government operations. The move signals potential policy shifts at USAID, which has been a focal point in debates over America’s global aid strategy.
