after Elon Musks responds to CNN reporting..
Washington CNN —
The CEO of a plant in Georgia that makes a special peanut butter paste for severely malnourished children around the world told CNN that his company’s contracts with the US Agency for International Development that had been abruptly canceled last week were all reinstated late Sunday night.
Mark Moore, the founder MANA Nutrition, shared screenshots of the rescinded contract termination notifications with CNN on Sunday.
“Thrilled,” he said in response to the news.
He also told CNN that he was working to quickly start using USAID-labeled pouches in production again: “It’s a yo-yo. I just texted the factory and told them to switch back to USAID packaging as of midnight.”
The development came after Elon Musk said on social media earlier Sunday in response to CNN’s previous reporting about the terminated USAID contracts that he would “investigate” and “fix it.” MANA’s canceled contracts had been the result of the Trump administration’s drastic efforts to slim down the federal government led by Musk, who leads a new government agency called the Department of Government Efficiency.
