He\u2064 emphasized the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/omar-kept-husbands-consulting-firm-afloat\/\" title=\"Omar Kept Husband\u2019s Consulting Firm Afloat\">good work<\/a>&#8221; done by USAID, notably in nutrition and vaccine distribution, areas in which his foundation collaborates wiht the agency. Gates highlighted \u200dthat private\u200b sector leaders like Musk\u2062 may not fully appreciate\u200c the value and structure of government agencies,leading to decisions that\u200b could have serious\u200d repercussions. He warned that without USAID&#8217;s support, millions of lives could be\u200d at risk due to the potential disruption of critical services. <\/p>\n<p>In response to Musk\u2019s actions,\u200b Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been appointed as the acting administrator of USAID and is working with Congress to restructure the agency&#8217;s \u200dfunctions within the\u2063 State Department.The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/people-on-turbine-powered-grid-get-a-shocking-notice-when-the-wind-stops-blowing\/\" title=\"Turbine-powered grid users shocked by wind outage notice.\">situation raises concerns<\/a> not \u2064only about the future of USAID but also its impact on\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">global health initiatives funded<\/a> by taxpayers, who contribute only a small fraction \u2063to the agency&#8217;s \u200bbudget.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Bill Gates suggests Elon Musk&nbsp;doesn&rsquo;t&nbsp;see the &lsquo;good work&rsquo; accomplished by USAID<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1976075\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Microsoft founder <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bill-gates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bill Gates<\/a> defended the &ldquo;good work&rdquo; done by&nbsp;the U.S. Agency for International Development.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Gates&rsquo;s comments came after Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, shut the USAID headquarters down on Monday.
