As he answered a question from the public, Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), exposed the fraud ring that has made many members of Congress massively wealthy. Musk explained how Democrats use NGOs to line their pockets and promised to end this massive waste of taxpayer funds.

For context, President Donald Trump established DOGE in one of his earliest executive orders and charged the department with rooting out fraud, waste, and corruption in the federal government. Since then, DOGE has made massive strides in their fight to drain the swamp, despite continuous protests from the Democrats.

Starting off the March 30, 2025, interaction, a member of the crowd asked Elon Musk a vital question. The MAGA hat-wearing man asked, “Has the DOGE team found any evidence that any of the radical left Democrats like Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Chuck Schumer have received money directly from USAID, and if so, will we be hearing about that evidence anytime soon?”

Responding with a confident answer, Elon assured the man that his concerns would be addressed. He said, “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, which an NGO is a nongovernmental organization.”

Continuing his explanation, the genius tech founder said, “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.”

Providing additional context, Musk explained how these funds are diverted back to the US. He declared, “So they’ll send the money overseas to one NGO, then it’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.”

Concluding his remarks, Musk criticized corrupt members of Congress who have massive fortunes. He stated, “But it is a circuitous route. It’s not like it doesn’t go directly, but let’s just say that there’s a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress, where I just can’t I’m trying to connect the dots of, how do they become rich while earning How’d they get 20 million if they’re earning 200,000 A year? Sounds, nobody can explain that. So something’s Yeah, we’re going to try to figure it out and certainly stop it from happening.”
