Overview

  • Elon Musk revealed that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate the personal wealth of Democratic lawmakers, alleging potential misuse of taxpayer funds through NGOs.
  • Musk questioned how members of Congress, earning approximately $200,000 annually, have accumulated significant wealth, citing examples such as Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Chuck Schumer.
  • During a Wisconsin town hall, Musk handed out $1 million checks to two attendees, a move critics claim may violate state election laws.
