HERE WE GO… Elon Musk Says DOGE to Investigate Federal Government Workers Who Have Managed to Accrue “Tens of Millions of Dollars in Net Worth” (VIDEO):
Elon Musk and his adorable son, X, traveled to the White House on Tuesday to meet with President Trump in the Oval Office.
President Trump signed a new executive order mandating federal agencies work with DOGE.
Elon Musk said DOGE will begin investigating federal government workers who have managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars.
“We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,” Elon Musk said.
“They seem to be mysteriously getting wealthy and we don’t know why – where did it come from? I think the reality is that they are getting wealthier at the taxpayer expense.”
On Monday, Elon Musk wondered how Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren managed to accrue a net worth of at least $12 million (it’s likely much higher) on a relatively modest $200,000 per year Senator’s salary.
Unraveling the deep state: Here are the most egregious things USAID was doing with your money:
Over the past several decades, billions of hard-earned American taxpayer dollars have been funneled into left-wing initiatives around the globe through the United States Agency for International Development.
Established in 1961, the agency was intended to administer foreign aid and assistance to developing nations, but it has since apparently become an unscrutinized black hole of waste, fraud, and abuse.
While USAID'sspending scandalis just beginning to unfold, here's a list of some of the alleged questionable initiatives funded through the agency.
DEI
$45 millionto diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma. The DOGE reported that seven "DEI-related" USAID contracts valued at$375 millionwere canceled.
$1.5 million"to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities, by promoting economic empowerment of and opportunity for LGBTQI+ people." The program aimed to "expand opportunities" and "reduce[] workplace discrimination."
$1.3 millionto "provide Arab and Jewish [Israeli] residents … with a collaborative platform, photography skills." The program offered participants "mixed identity photography workshops."
LGBT
$2 millionfor "activity to strengthen trans-led organizations to deliver gender-affirming health care" inGuatemala.
$37.7 millionto study HIV among "sex workers (SWS), their clients, and transgender (TG) people" in South Africa.
$7.9 millionto teach Sri Lankan journalists about "gender-sensitive reporting."

$24 millionfor a "green transportation and logistics program" in Georgia.
Cultural & educational propaganda
$20 millionon "Ahlan Simsim," a new "Sesame Street" show in Iraq. According to a now-archived version of USAID'swebsite, the children's series was "designed to promote inclusion, mutual respect, and understanding across ethnic, religious, and sectarian groups."
$6 million for tourism in Egypt, according to the White House. Corporate media outlets were quick to "fact-check" apress releaselinked by the Trump administration, arguing that it did not mention that the funds would be used for tourism purposes. However, USAID has invested$100 millionintaxpayerdollarsthat have eitherdirectly or indirectlyboosted Egypt's tourism, including an$8.6 millioncampaign in 2022.
$1.2 millionto construct a "state-of-the-art 440 seat auditorium" for the African Methodist Episcopal Church Service and Development Agency in Washington, D.C.

The federal government gave "hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria," according to a November report from theWashington Times.
Based on reporting from theWashington Examiner, the White House stated that the government provided "hundreds of thousands of dollars for a nonprofit linked to designated terrorist organizations — evenafteran inspector general launched an investigation." It also allegedlyfunded"print[ing] 'personalized' contraceptive birth control devices in developing countries."
Further, USAID awarded $1.2 billion to undisclosed recipients, according to DOGE.
Outside USAID, the federal government also made questionable funding decisions through theState Department, providing $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland, $35,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia, and$22,231on a "USAID Social Media Influencers Campaign."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Calls for End of Ukraine War, Announces No New Aid for Ukraine:
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the NATO headquarters on Wednesday called for an end to the Ukraine War and in a major departure from the Biden administration, did not announce any new aid for Ukraine.
“We are meeting at a critical moment. As the war approaches its third anniversary, our message is clear: The bloodshed must stop and this war must end,” he said in a statement at a meeting of nations who support Ukraine known as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG).
He called a return to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders — before Russia’s annexation of Crimea — “an unrealistic objective,” and an “illusory goal” that would “only prolong the war and cause more suffering.”
He also said the U.S. “does not believe that NATO membership of Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement,” and that any security guarantee must be backed by capable European and non-European troops.
He also made clear that as part of any security guarantee, no U.S. troops would be deployed to Ukraine.
To get Russia to negotiate, he said President Trump would wield pressure by driving down energy prices that have been fueling the Russian war machine.
But Hegseth made clear that it was time for Europe to “provide the overwhelming share of future lethal aid and nonlethal aid to Ukraine.”
Hegseth also made clear that the U.S. could no longer be the “primary guarantor of security in Europe.” “...the United States will no longer tolerate an imbalanced relationship which encourages dependency,” he said. “Rather, our relationship will prioritize empowering Europe to own responsibility for its security."
Chinese Spy Balloon Joe Biden Allowed to Traverse the US and Pass Over Military Bases Was Loaded with US Technology:
The Chinese spy balloon that Joe Biden allowed to pass across the continental US in 2023 wasloaded withUS technology.
This latest discovery highlights the failure of US technology to be used by the Chinese for military use.
In January 2023, the Biden administration knew about the Chinese spy balloon traversing across the continental United States, from Alaska to the Carolinas, but sought to conceal this from the American public.
Joe Biden and Mark Milley knew the surveillance balloon was over the US, yet Biden chose to stand down, say nothing, and allow the Chinese to collect information on US military bases.
The balloon soared over nuclear silos and military installations across the US with Joe Biden’s full approval.
The balloon was shot down over the Atlantic just off the coast of the Carolinas days later after it completed its path over US military bases.
According to the Pentagon, the spy balloon carried explosives to self-detonate, was 200 feet tall, and weighed thousands of pounds.
The Biden Administration knew about the spy balloon but sought to conceal it from the American public. Retired General Mark Milley knew about the Chinese balloon but followed the lead of the Biden regime and kept it from the public.
…Administration officials at first hoped to conceal the balloon’s existence from the public, and from Congress, according to multiple former and current administration and congressional officials.
“Before it was spotted publicly, there was the intention to study it and let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it,” said a former senior U.S. official briefed on the balloon incident.
Mark Milley was granted a pardon by Joe Biden before President Trump moved in the White House.
Now we know that it was worse than we thought. US technology was used by the Chinese to spy on US military installations.
Joe Biden ignored this assault by the Chinese on our country.
Senate Confirms Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Lead New Era in Restoring American Health:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is on his way to Make America Healthy Again.
The United States Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Thursday morning to lead the Department of Health and Human Services by a vote of 52 to 48.
Kennedy’s skepticism of the scientific consensus on vaccines led to initial skepticism of the viability of his nomination. But in private meetings with Senators and during his confirmation hearings, Kennedy assuaged those concerns.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), a moderate who has often bucked Trump, expressed concerns with Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism but supported his nomination.
“While there is no dispute that the U.S. spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country, our health outcomes do not reflect this investment,” she said in a statement. “Instead of focusing on who covers our exorbitant healthcare costs, we need to reduce these costs by directing our attention to prevention and keeping people healthy.”
