What DOGE is really learning
American Thinker ^ | 3 Mar, 2025 | Monica Showalter

Elon Musk spoke with Joe Rogan over the weekend, and had some powerful thoughts on illegals and entitlements fraud.

After six weeks of uncovering untold horrors of waste, fraud and abuse in government through the DOGE project, Elon Musk spoke with Joe Rogan over the weekend about what he has learned from it:

According to the RealClearPolitics transcript:

ELON MUSK: At the heart of the sort of like, why is the Democrat propaganda machine so fired up to destroy me? That's the main reason. The main reason is that, is that, entitlements fraud, that includes, like, Social Security, disability, Medicaid, entitlements fraud for illegal aliens is what is serving as a gigantic magnetic force to pull people in from all around the world and keep them here.

Basically, if you pay people, at a standard of living that is above 90% of Earth, then you have a very powerful incentive for 90% of Earth to come here and to stay here. But if you if you end the illegal alien fraud, then you that you turn off that magnet, and they leave. And they they stop coming, and the and the ones that are here, many of them will simply leave.

And if that happens, a mass they will lose a massive number of Democratic voters.

This corresponds to numerous observations he's made as he's gone along in the DOGE process about massive numbers of Social Security going to places like Ukraine and other unlikely retirement destinations.

And your militia idea would be subject to the cooperation of the states (good luck with just the red states patrolled!), while militia bounties would probably condemn the GOP to a century of irretrievably minority status).

But no worries, it’d never happen.

PS Have you even been an employee or an employer over the last 40 years? You seem to have no idea of the current process.

It would seem the demonrats are willing to completely destroy the United States as long as they get to be in charge. Go figure...

I think Musk has already found evidence of politicians and even sitting members of Congress are receiving money fraudulently through NGOs

So far not one penny has come off the debt. Where are the excess funds?

Remember in 1992, when politicians used the House Bank to overdraw their checking accounts without penalty, sometimes being in overdraft for 8 months or more? It was called “Rubbergate.” When they lost that benefit, they moved on to other ways of scamming money, like taking USAID taxpayer money.
