Elon Musk Vows DOGE Probe Into These 'Strangely Wealthy' Dems: 'How Do They Get $20M?' [View all]

Elon Musk has announced a DOGE-led investigation into the personal fortunes of Democratic members of Congress during a town hall in Wisconsin, asking how lawmakers become millionaires while earning “$200,000 a year.”

The billionaire Trump ally declared an investigation into political opponents on Sunday night in response to a question from an attendee who asked whether the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had discovered any direct “evidence” of money sent to “radical left Democrats” – naming Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer – by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

In response to the question, Musk replied that he was trying to “figure it out”:

Yeah. So there is a massive amount of corruption. But it is circuitous. So what happens is there’s money that, obviously, it’s your taxpayer money that is then sent to various government organizations who then send it to NGOs, an NGO is a non-governmental organization, but obviously, if it’s a government-funded non-governmental organization, it’s just an organization. It’s just a government.

And effectively, there’s a giant fraud loophole, which is that the government can send money to an NGO that is then no longer governed by the laws of the United States. So they’ll send the money overseas to one NGO, then they’ll go through a bunch of them, and then I’m highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to the United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned.
