Elon Musk Exposes Government Waste & Fraud Via DOGE
Dear Friends & Neighbors,
(Please click on red links & note magenta)
Elon Musk has been vocal about government inefficiencies and waste, in various government agencies, with the intention of preventing U.S.A. becoming bankrupt. Elon Musk, through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has claimed to uncover significant waste and fraud across various U.S. federal agencies. Notable assertions include:apnews.com+6vox.com+6en.wikipedia.org+6
-
Department of the Treasury: Musk alleged that approximately $4.7 trillion in payments lacked proper tracking codes, making them nearly impossible to trace. He further claimed that over $100 billion in entitlement payments were made annually without valid Social Security numbers, with about $50 billion being “unequivocal and obvious fraud.” en.wikipedia.org+1nypost.com+1
-
Social Security Administration (SSA): Musk suggested that some Social Security recipients were as old as 150 years, implying fraudulent benefit claims. However, experts attribute such anomalies to outdated coding systems within the SSA, where missing birth dates default to a reference date, falsely displaying ages like 150 years. Wired+1en.wikipedia.org+1
Despite these claims, independent analyses have challenged their validity. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report indicated that total federal “improper payments” amounted to $162 billion last year, far below Musk’s trillion-dollar estimate. Additionally, many of DOGE’s reported savings were found to be misrepresented or inflated. marketwatch.comen.wikipedia.org
Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been making great effort in being transparent with what DOGE team had been investigating and discovering.
According to DOGE website, thusfar, DOGE had Estimated Savings of $115B, and the Amount Saved Per Taxpayer is estimated at $714.29
Keep in mind that Elon Musk himself does not take a salary from DOGE and he is purely volunteering his own time and risking his own companies’ welfare simply because he does not want USA government to become bankrupt (U.S. National Debt Clock).
