Did you catch this part?
Elon said “I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.”
Over $100 BILLION is being sent every year to people in America with no Social Security number
This may be the biggest money laundering scandal since Ukraine, ActBlue, and all the other globalist scams
This is why Democrats are freaking out - their DC gravy train was just exposed
...
Elon Musk -
To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:
- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.
- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!
- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.
The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE . It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!
Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.
When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!
This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

How is it possible they all knew there was $50 billion in fraud and they didn’t DO ANYTHING? ~Matt Van Swol

Elon Musk -
Nobody in Treasury management cared enough before. I do want to credit the working level people in Treasury who have wanted to do this for many years, but have been stopped by prior management.
Everything at Treasury was geared towards complain minimization. People we receive money don’t complain, but people who don’t receive money (especially fraudsters) complain very loudly, so the fraud was allowed to continue.
...
The US government has gone 29 years without separate appropriations bills.
If I were a corrupt politician trying to steal from the treasury, this is how I would implement the system.
It's the same philosophy as voting without requiring ID for all ballots cast or voting without cleaning voter rolls - also utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.. ~ RetiredPublius
If this keeps up a balanced budget is going to be easy peasy.
BTTT
I don’t think I’ve ever work in a company that doesn’t require a W-9 form on file before disbursing money.
It seems impossible to me the federal government wouldn’t require the same since they are the ones that mandate companies collect and maintain this information.
A 19-year old DOGE contractor could figure out this scam and probably did.
The Rats are cornered animals. They’re likely considering ‘extreme’ measures to stop Musk...and perhaps President Trump.

Oh, and be sure to “thank” your local democrat when ya see em, especially in the voting booth. POSs. Spit.
!!!
Question-who cashed those checks?
Ugly stuff...
.
Where is it going?
For sure. I’m seeing a big reduction in income taxes at some time soon as it seems clear Fedzilla is taking in way more than it needs.
2 trillion will require a lot of cutting and a lot of fraud discovery...so yeah it’s doable :)
No ID, it's TAX FREE! Cool!!
But... but... but.... All those "undocumented immigrants" are paying taxes and contributing to our society!
Yes, Who? Has to be a money trial to someone.
"Clean House" and "Git "er Done!"
I’ll predict that 10 to 25% of the 3 million federal employees do not even exist. This is why Elon musk is demanding they all show up at the office and that is why they are so opposed to this demand
I love it!
Give the federal government an enema.
Same feelings. Same words came to mind.
