Kennedy, a Republican, made the claim during his speech at the Capitol. "USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam with our taxpayers' money. USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. I didn't know that. I bet the American people didn't know that. Musk also found that USD 1.5 million was given to Serbian LGBT organisations. They got the money to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbian workplaces and business communities," Kennedy said.
"USAID spent USD 164 million to support radical organisations around the world. Of that, they gave USD 122 million to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organisations. USAID gave millions of dollars to such organisations in Gaza," he added.
Elon Musk responded with a "wow" on a post on X that highlighted the Kennedy claim on USAID.
