Elon Musk joined Lara Trump on her show “My View” last Saturday night on FOX News.
During their conversation, Elon revealed that the DOGE Team found 100,000 active federal employees, who also collected unemployment insurance benefits, while they were still at work.
Collecting insurance benefits while still working is considered unemployment insurance fraud. Many states classify unemployment fraud as a misdemeanor or felony.
Jail time is a significant risk and can range from several months to several years.

Elon Musk: We’ve actually found there’s 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.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. 🤡
Could this have been during periods of government furlough? If so it probably was an overpayment that had to be repaid. Just sayin’.
Hopefully, they can get fired from federal employment for this.
I know some states withhold tax returns until Li’L-received unemployment insurance is paid back.
Good grief fire them all, and put a do not hire on their records
NOT EXACTLY AN OVER PAYMENT-—
YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY APPLY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT.
IF STILL DRAWING A FED PAYCHECK, THEN FILING FOR UNEMPLOYMENT IS TOTAL FRAUD
Prosecution coming in ......never mind.
Pay up or get locked up.
They all voted for Democrats. I was led to believe "it's not a crime when a Democrat does it".
There is no way the DOJ has enough staff to prosecute all of them, or even any substantial number of them.
In any case, this should be a firing offense, and the Democrat judge who issues a TRO to prevent that firing needs to be immediately arrested and removed from office.
Terminate, restitution and jail time.
If they are going to allow gun manufacturers to be sued, then I think it’s high time that multiple law schools are sued for what they’ve unleashed on society.
I just filed in Texas after being RIF’d. employer has to let state know about it. Who in federal gov let states know about jobs “lost”? That’s collusion.
Time to get the DemonRATS’ skanky “District” Judgey juniors Cavalry out of the fart sacks and come riding to the rescue of the RATS again! Woo Woo Woo!

I would have preferred such an announcement came in the form of 100,000 perp-walks.
Fired?? I am thinking prison is called for. As well as repayment.
I’m from Maryland and surrounded by federal employees. During furloughs they don;t work and are not paid. But they ALWAYS get back pay for their time of what amounts to paid vacation. Some may have applied for unemployment. Just sayin’.
Bigger than SpaceX, Tesla, and X (formerly Twitter).
All I can think of is George Costanza from Seinfeld.
“Was that wrong?”
