In a bombshell interview with Fox News’ Shawn Hannity, Elon Musk revealed that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered a staggering $100 billion in wasteful and fraudulent government spending. Musk’s comments, which were made on March 19, 2025, sparked widespread outrage, particularly from those critical of the Trump administration’s efforts to root out corruption. Musk shared that his team’s investigation into federal spending has led to the defunding of agencies like USAID and the firing of hundreds of employees, all while facing intense backlash from the very people whose fraud is being exposed.
