  • Elon Musk spoke about DOGE's hunt for waste, fraud, and abuse on Sen. Ted Cruz's podcast this week. Musk estimates that there is an 80/20 ratio of waste to fraud in the federal budget and says $1 trillion in annual savings is not outside the realm of possibility.

The article from RealClearPolitics discusses an interview on the "Verdict with Ted Cruz" podcast where Elon Musk addresses the issue of NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) fraud within the U.S. federal government. Musk highlights what he perceives as widespread fraud occurring at a significant scale, suggesting that these organizations, which often receive federal funding, might be misusing taxpayer money. He points out the lack of oversight and accountability in how these funds are allocated and spent, potentially leading to inefficiencies and corruption. Musk's comments come in the context of broader discussions about government spending, transparency, and the effectiveness of federal programs. The conversation also touches on the need for reform in how NGOs operate and are monitored to ensure that public funds are used appropriately and effectively.
