When President Donald Trump selected Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, it’s safe to say even Elon probably didn’t think he and his team would unearth as much wasteful spending as they have.
In fact, Elon said out of all the shocking things DOGE has uncovered while auditing the government, he believes that the single most shocking thing is just how EASY it is to save the American taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars if you actually care.
Musk suggests that if the DC swamp creatures had cared AT ALL about the Americas who pay their salaries, they could have done this themselves.
“When you add caring and competence where it was absent before, you can actually save billions of dollars, sometimes in an hour,” Musk said.
“It just shows that they really lack empathy for the average taxpayer whose working hard paying taxes and then they say ‘oh a million dollars doesn’t matter.’”
It’s rather interesting that after finding out our government was using our tax money to fund things like $20 million to Iraq to fund the creation of their own “Sesame Street” or $54 million to fund DEI programs in Serbia, or $50 million for condoms in Mozambique the thing which has shocked Elon the most is just how obvious it is that our government really has not cared one bit about the American taxpayer over the years.
