“We look at the president’s executive orders, and we simply follow the money,” Musk said. “So we started looking closely at USAID because they were completely violating the president’s executive orders to suspend foreign aid.”
“I think, one of the largest sources of fraud in the world, is government -funded non -governmental organizations. This is a giant gap where the government can give money for an NGO, and then there is no control over that NGO,” he continued.
Musk confirmed that the department has gained “pretty” access to any government agency and its expenditure data, adding that DOGE is “transparent line” for those expenses it aims to reduce, as listed on their website.

Billionaire Elon Musk discusses the long -term goals of Doge in ‘Kudlow’.
“What we do is consulting with the cabinet secretaries and their departments. So we are really trying to be, a kind of reference to ourselves as technological support. We are really helping the department take a glove for things. Because what is actually here is that you have this wide federal bureaucracy, and then you have a very policy. It is that it is the bureucracy, and the subcontinuous, and those in control, and those controlled, and those who are in control, and those in control, and those in control, and those in control, and those controlled, and those who are in control, and they control, and be in control, and be in control, and be in control, and be in control, and be in control.

Billionaire Elon Musk explains how the government will help get a handle about the ‘Kudlow’ things.
“Honestly, I can’t believe I’m here doing this. It is a strange kind. But I think we have received this great federal budget deficit, and is a $ 2 trillion deficit. It continues to increase. Our interest payments are higher than our Defense Department budget. [That]I think, it was the real call of awakening for me, “Musk said.
