Elon Musk Accuses U.S. Institute of Peace of Financial Data Deletion

Elon Musk has accused the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) of deleting a terabyte of financial data to hide alleged crimes related to funding connections with the Taliban and the Iraqi League for Youth. Musk shared this claim on X (formerly Twitter) but has not provided evidence for his assertions or explained the criminality of the funds. The USIP, established in 1984 to promote peace, recently faced a major staff overhaul under the Trump administration, which Musk has criticized for its handling of the organization. Legal actions are underway from former USIP board members against the Trump administration for its actions. The situation raises questions about Musk's allegations and the future of USIP.
