Elon Musk in an interview with FOX Business Channel host Larry Kudlow said there is a "gigantic fraud loophole" for NGOs to receive government money.
LARRY KUDLOW, FOX BUSINESS: Yes, yes. So demystify this. How do you do it? How big is your team? Where do you recruit most of them from? And what is it that makes you choose, you know, the Treasury or Social Security or USAID? How does it work? Let the public know, please.
ELON MUSK, DOGE: Right. Well, we just basically follow the money. You know, we look at the president's executive orders and we also just follow the money.
So we started looking closely at USAID because they were completely violating the president's executive orders to suspend foreign aid, you know, what's called foreign aid, but in our view is a lot of corruption. So what we saw there is just a tremendous amount of money being sent to non-governmental organizations. But actually, this, by the way, is, I think, one of the biggest sources of fraud in the world is government-funded, non-governmental organizations.
This is a gigantic fraud loophole where the government can give money to an NGO and then there are no controls over that NGO. So they've given billions of dollars, in fact, we estimate tens of billions of dollars to NGOs that are essentially scams. By the way.
I'm trying to put a stop to that.

I wonder how many tricky ways there are to pay off congress members for voting for this funding?
HOORAY Elon & individuals in D.O.G.E.
Employment of family members at large unearned salaries, no show jobs for girlfriends, stock tips...
THEN STOP IT.
He implied much more than scams.

Well stop it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhQGzeiYS_Q
SAheldon White house RI Democrat voted for millions
to an NGO that paid his wife’s consulting firm.
And as DOGE starts looking into NGOs, Tesla vehicles and dealerships come under attack by the Antifa wing of the Democratic Party. It’s not a coincidence - the violent shock troops of the Left are funded and guided by NGOs which receive money from USAID and other agencies of the Executive Branch.
These NGOs not only use government money to bribe politicians, they also fund an army of activists and launder government money into Democrats’ campaigns and PACs. Democrat voters are generally not generous people. They are known not to give much to charities and I doubt many of them give much to political campaigns. If DOGE can stop this corruption, the whole leftist machine will be paralyzed.
Illegal (extra-Const.) funding of NGOs ARE, at minimum, a scam
BINGO! We are paying for ALL these rioters
If you look at the design....you give $5k to some House member, and then ask for a USAID situation, with a fake charity...like saving some Elephant herd in Africa. You make pictures...draft the charity paperwork, and submit to USAID, with the House-member pushing approval, and once you get the $3-million...you funnel 10-percent back to the House-guy, via Act-Blue. You take the remaining cash in Africa....convert to BitCoin and retire to Panama.
You could do this once a year for 10 years.
“THEN STOP IT.”
Musk himself has no power other exposing the fraud and financial failings. The President and Congress must stop the spending.

The test will be the budget Congress prepares for fiscal year 2025-26 which begins October 1. Will the Republican Congress put together a zero based budget which prioritizes required spending and eliminates the pools of slush fund money going to unaccountable organizations in bed with Congress and the bureaucracy.
If a Republican Congress and Senate passes another last minute omnibus budget with a $2 plus trillion deficit, then DOGE will have failed and the Republic will fall. Trump and Musk have exposed the waste, the grift, the fraud, and the corruption. If Congress doesn’t take definitive and effective action, the entire exercise is a waste of time.
Look at your GOP Congresscritter or Senator. Is he or she hiding in the bushes today, waiting to see how the wind blows, or is he or she standing publicly with Mrs and demanding a responsible budget process this year? I hear very few calls for slashing a trillion from federal spending in the upcoming budget.
What motivation do our congressional representatives have to stop this? It doesn’t hurt them when tax dollars are being wasted.
What is more, there are probably some financial advantages to waste and fraud like this, albiet via some rather circuitous routes.
In other words, there is some RISK of loss for them here, and almost zero REWARD.
IDENTIFY AND PROSECUTE.
Biggest corruption lies in the deals between Congresscritters, their families, and NGOs! It’s a slush fund for gov’t workers.
We tried to tell Bush that this was going on with Solindra.
His response was to attack Iraq.
BTTT
You’re a Texan, get your ass on the border and stop those Mexicans!
