Mozambique has lost US financial aid to massify male circumcision after the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) approved a cut.

The new institution led by South African Elon Musk approved cutting monetary support to 15 programs, including voluntary medical male circumcision in Mozambique, valued at 10 million dollars.

On his X page, Musk changed his name to Harry Bōlz and captioned it: "Discount circumcision, now less 50%. One of the things USAID was doing was offering free circumcision around the world, burdening taxpayers' taxes. I decided to compete in the business".

Last week, the billionaire had already criticized the US Agency for International Development's (USAI) support for the country to the tune of 50 million dollars in condoms.

The cut to voluntary medical circumcision is yet another measure by the new Trump administration, which wants to see justification for every dollar that leaves the country and understand how the American people benefit.

Initially, the department led by Musk announced a 90-day suspension of all USAID support worldwide. In some countries, the measure was reversed, including Mozambique, after a US court ruled against it.
