Musk admitted the mistake: “US accidentally cancelled funds aimed at Ebola prevention”

Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, who was also part of US President Donald Trump's first cabinet meeting, confirmed that the US accidentally cancelled funds aimed at Ebola prevention. Musk’s comments that come amid a raging controversy on USAID funding and job cuts said that they will make mistakes and won't be perfect. Speaking at the cabinet meeting, Musk said while hustling to dramatically shrink the US Agency for International Development, “One of the things we accidentally cancelled very briefly was Ebola prevention." He later insisted that “there was no interruption” in services before the funding was restored.
However, according to a USAID official, no funds for the agency's Ebola response had been released under President Donald Trump's January 20 funding freeze for foreign aid, including for efforts to combat the spread of the deadly virus.
