My SO suggested that USAID was a target because during the elimination of Apartheid in South Africa it was a critical component of empowering the black population there. Elon Musk's family apparently lost a lot of their political power as a result of that, and this might be payback.
It's similar to why a lot of people thought George W. Bush rolled invading Iraq into his plan to take down Al-Qaeda despite Iraq not apparently harboring them.
