On Tuesday, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office to take questions from reporters on his effort to cut waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal government’s budget.
Trump signed an executive order to “restore accountability to the American public, ” titled the “Implementing the President’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ Workforce Optimization Initiative” executive order, meant to “restore accountability to the American public.”
In addition, the order also allows “DOGE Team Leads” to create monthly hiring reports for agencies as agency heads “promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force.”
Trump declared that there are “billions and billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse,” and that is “one of the reasons I got elected.”
He added, “It seems hard to believe that judges want to try and stop us from looking for corruption, especially when we found hundreds of millions of dollars worth–much more than that–in just a short period of time… Maybe we have to look at the judges because I think it’s a very serious violation.”
One of the most shocking things Musk found while looking into social security revealed that there are people still receiving a social security check that are 150 years old! Who is receiving that money and cashing in on those checks??
Musk said, “There’s crazy things, like just a cursory examination of Social Security, and we’ve got people in there that are 150 years old. Now, do you know anyone that’s 150? I don’t, okay? They should be in the Guinness Book of World Records; they’re missing out. So, you know, that’s a case where like I think they’re probably dead. That’s my guess. Or they should be very famous, one of the two.”
He also discovered that there are numerous government officials that have become multi-millionaires “at the taxpayers expense.”
The DOGE leader said, “We do find it sort of odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position, which is what happened to USAID. We’re just curious as to where it came from. Maybe they’re just very good at investing in which case we should take their investment advice perhaps. But it seems to be mysteriously they get wealthy, and we don’t know why. Where does it come from? And I think that the reality is they’re getting wealthy at the taxpayers’ expense. That’s the honest truth of it.”
No wonder Democrats are so angry that he’s looking into finances.
