A member of Nancy Pelosi’s family, Alexis Pelosi, could lose her high-paying job at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) after Elon Musk, who will be responsible for eliminating government waste under the incoming Trump administration, mocked her position on X.
Alexis, who is married to the former speaker’s nephew, reportedly makes $181,648.00 annually as a climate advisor. After all, all great housing and urban development projects need a climate advisor!
To complicate the family drama, Alexis’ father-in-law was once married to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s aunt.
Musk, who will lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, has vowed to purge the federal bureaucracy of unnecessary, cost-consuming jobs. On Wednesday, the X owner posted about Alexis’ salary, raising questions about whether her position at the HUD is on the chopping block.
“Nancy Pelosi's niece should not be paid $181,648.00 by the US Taxpayer to be the ‘Climate Advisor’ at HUD,” a popular account tweeted. “But maybe her advice is amazing,” Musk responded with laughing emojis.
“Can’t wait for DOGE to clean house,” one user sneered.
“I hope she saved some of that $181,648.00 because she’s about to be UNEMPLOYED,” another added.
On Thursday, the SpaceX founder joined Ramaswamy to write an op-ed describing their role in the new administration.
“The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long,” they wrote. “That’s why we’re doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees. Unlike government commissions or advisory committees, we won’t just write reports or cut ribbons. We’ll cut costs.”
They clarified that, while they anticipate their efforts will result in “mass head-count reductions across the federal bureaucracy,” they are prepared to help those workers transition into the private sector.
They also expressed interest in making federal employees work in-office five days a week, citing data showing federal agencies use “on average, just 12% of the space in their DC headquarters.”
“The Department of Agriculture, with space for more than 7,400 people, averaged 456 workers each day (6% occupancy),” the official DOGE account posted on social media. “Why are American taxpayer dollars being spent to maintain empty buildings?”
“If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home,” argued Ramaswamy and Musk. According to the former, this alone could result in a “25 percent thinning out of the federal bureaucracy.”
Whether Alexis Pelosi will be among those who participate in the great Washington exodus remains to be seen. But with a salary roughly three times that of the average American worker and a job title as inane as HUD Climate Advisor, we shouldn’t be surprised if this Pelosi’s days in Washington are numbered.
help those workers transition into the private sector.
Not much demand for mail order graduate degree wall paper.
They can always learn to code. ;-)
HUD is the swampiest of swamps.
The only way to figure out who does what is fire everybody and then wait for the phone to ring.
It is does not ring you made the correct move.
Lol.
You are SO outta here lady.
"How To Code For Dummies"
That many unemployed climate specialists will cause a disturbance in the force.
These Pelosis have been feeding at the trough for a long time.
To put things in perspective, the whole of the US government has devolved into an efficient operation with a singular focus, to loot the US Treasury.
That’s it.
DOGE is the wrecking ball.
Pray they are successful.
This is just the tip of the iceberg . Once these parasites get access to federal funds and funding the skies the limit. Pelosi probably has a huge budget to allocate funds to reduce the effects of global warming on housing and most or all of that goes to sham companies headed up by more friends and family.
.......data shows federal agencies “on average, use just 12% of tax-paid space in DC hdq”..........
“The Dept of Agriculture, can house 7,400, yet averaged 456 in-office workers per day (6% occupancy).”
DOGE asked “Why are tax dollars being spent to maintain empty buildings?”
“If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home,” argued Ramaswamy and Musk.........”this alone could result in a “25 percent thinning out of the federal bureaucracy.”
Alexis Pelosi pockets a $181,648.00 salary.......roughly three times that of a family man........
and has an inane, invented job title as “HUD Climate Advisor.”
Pelosi’s days in Washington are numbered.
How many MORE FAMILY MEMBERS of THE SWAMP are in FEDERAL JOBS like this one?????
How deliciously ironic useless fired government employees will be competing with illegals for jobs.
the government is full of these sibling and family friend pukes of politicians, media stars, corporate bigs and campaign donors. They all need to be thrown to the curb, the party’s over
Democrats have a pattern here on this type of behavior. Every year, San Francisco spends 200 million on the homeless yet the homeless issue became so great that just before Xi came to the city, the National Guard was called in to remove all the homeless and put them in Oakland. They all came back after Xi left. Most of the 200 million is spent on salaries for the “homeless advisors and project managers”. The Climate Change scam is the same way. Scamming the people so politicians can hire their family members to non essential jobs created just for them.
In cities, states and the feds contractors and subcontractors are another way to launder money to family and friends.
The corruption is wide and deep.
Without it the Democrat Party is a collection of insane kooks begging for money on street corners.
Raking in the free government money. Nepotism and corruption and excessive waste.
“What is it, exactly, that you do here?”
Go ask “Mad” Maxine Waters daughter that same question.
Maxine is worst than Nancy in this one ,LOL
Can you imagine being paid to do nothing? What kind of person would even take it? That’s money taken from hard working people like you and me.
