Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Head, Elon Musk, made a massive revelation while speaking to Lara Trump on her Fox News program, My View. During the segment, Musk explained how over 100,000 federal workers were taking unemployment while still collecting paychecks from the government.

For context, DOGE was established during one of Trump’s first executive orders and charged with fighting fraud, waste, and graft in the federal government. Since the department started work, it has had a number of bombshell reports that have electrified conservatives.

Such was shown when Elon Musk appeared on Fox alongside Lara Trump on May 2, 2025. He explained, “We’ve actually found this a lot of people who are federal government employees, they’re active employees, who nonetheless applied for and have received unemployment insurance while they’re federal employees. Yes, wow, and this appears to be at least 100,000 people.”

Reacting to the news, conservatives took to social media to express their disgust. Steve Ferguson, who operates a large pro-Trump account on X, said, “DOGE and Elon have found 100,000 federal workers collecting unemployment insurance while still working. When are the arrests starting?” Responding to his post, another conservative influencer said, “This is fraud! Arrests have to happen!”
