The feud between billionaires Bill Gates and Elon Musk ramped up this week, with Gates accusing Musk of “killing the world’s poorest children” through massive cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development, one of the first targets of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service under the Trump administration.

In a new interview, Bill Gates criticized both Elon Musk and DOGE.The Microsoft cofounder said that DOGE is "geographically illiterate."He said that Musk was "involved in the deaths of the world's poorest children" by cutting USAID.

But now, the Trump administration has suddenly halted PEPFAR five years early. Researchers estimate that without the program, an additional 1 million children will be infected with HIV over the next five years, an additional 500,000 will die from AIDS, and 2.8 million will be orphaned, according to The Lancet.
