The post alleged that these funds were used to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China, potentially leading to the creation of COVID-19.

Musk further reinforced his stance on February 2, when he labeled USAID a “criminal organization” in reply to a video discussing USAID’s alleged involvement in internet censorship and intelligence work on behalf of the CIA.

USAID, while primarily known for its global health and development programs, has long been suspected of serving as a front for intelligence operations. The agency has played a key role in various global health initiatives, including the controversial PREDICT program, which aimed to identify and track emerging pathogens with pandemic potential.
