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 theres money that, obviously, its 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 its a government-funded non-governmental organization, its just an organization. Its just a government.
And effectively, theres 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 theyll send the money overseas to one NGO, then theyll go through a bunch of them, and then Im 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.

This is serious. If they can investigate this way, they can also make stuff up and have it believed. Or worse.

(52 posts)If you're not part of the Oligarchy then they figure you are corrupt and confiscate all your money.
As an example: The Canadian family that moved to Russia within the past 1-2 years. When they went to withdraw some money from the bank, they said it was confiscated by the "State" because they couldn't prove where it came from. I have not heard any more about what has happened to them.

(41,772 posts)DOGE exists and operates above and outside the laws and the Constitution. And I truly wish that was any kind of exaggeration. Their authority stems from the unindictable immunity bestowed on the Felon King by the most Supremest Kourt Ever.

(307 posts)their chance to take permanent power. They must do it before 2026 elections so the more we resist, the more extreme MAGA jerks will become. We must prepare and be ready to retaliate.
Like it or not, we're in a civil war and we do not have the luxury of waiting for someone else to help us. As our grandparents did in WW2, as our great grandparents did during the Civil Rights movement, and as our ancestors did during the American Civil War, we have to be willing to risk our lives to save America.
America need us now.

(245 posts)Twenty millions dollars? Twenty million is pocket change for Musk. What about 340 billion dollars? An obscene amount of money on any planet. It's about time that Congress and the Courts and every governor in America tells this Bozo NutJob to EFF OFF.

(11,942 posts)Or do you think him saying that $20,000,000 makes one "wealthy" is just trying to convey that impression?
