This is a huge breaking story….
Can you say FRAUD?
Oh my, this is bad and I hope the penalty is extremely severe.
As DOGE was coming to investigate the “US Institute of Peace” — yes, that’s a real Government Agency if you can believe it — Elon Musk says they swiftly deleted 1 terabyte of data before DOGE arrived.
The only problem?
They clearly did not consult Hillary Clinton on how to bleach-bit data, and so Elon’s team immediately recovered what they thought was deleted.
OOPS!
ELON: U.S. INSTITUTE OF PEACE TRIED TO DELETE TALIBAN FUNDING RECORDS—DOGE RECOVERED IT
Elon says the U.S. Institute of Peace deleted 1TB of financial data linking them to funding Taliban and Iraqi leadership—but DOGE wasn’t fooled.
According to Elon, the agency attempted to scrub the records, but DOGE engineers recovered the entire archive thanks to “their shocking incompetence with tech.”
The data reportedly includes detailed financial transfers tied to groups in Afghanistan and Iraq.
No comment yet from the agency.
Speaking of that name, Elon rightly points out that the truth is usually 100% opposite of whatever Government names something.
And here is Elon himself posting about recovering the deleted data:
Here’s more, from Newsweek:
Elon Musk has accused the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) of deleting a terabyte of financial data to “cover their crimes.”
Musk reposted a claim from the Conservative page ‘amuse’ on X (formerly Twitter) which stated that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had found USIP contracts going to Afghanistan’s former chief of protocol, who had been a member of the Taliban, and to the Iraqi League for Youth.
Musk wrote on X: “They deleted a terabyte of financial data to cover their crimes, but they don’t understand technology, so we recovered it.”
He has not provided proof of this data recovery so far, or explained why these funds are criminal.
Newsweek has contacted USIP for comment.
Why It Matters USIP is a nonpartisan organization funded by Congress and established in 1984 to promote conflict resolution and global peacebuilding. Nearly all its 300 employees were abruptly dismissed on Friday night, part of a sweeping move by the Trump administration, which has long pushed to eliminate it.
Musk has made several allegations concerning government organizations committing “crimes.” However, he himself had to delete a post last week in which he offered money to Wisconsin voters as his own AI chatbot, Grok, said it violated Wisconsin voting law.
Although Musk has now accused many government agencies of financial crimes, he has initiated no court proceedings so far against the agencies to hold them accountable for their alleged fraud.
Ping!.....................
Thank you God for Elon Musk!!!
LOL !
Their corruption is only exceeded by their incompetence. But it will no longer do.
What, the Recycle Bin isn’t forever???
Find out WHO and prosecute.
The Recycle BIN Laden.
I’m loving every minute of this DOGE process.
Thank God for all things.
Perp walk or it didn’t happen.
When you delete a file, the system just deletes the name of the file from the File Allocation Table.
The data is still on the disk where it can be accessed by the recovery software...............
Wake me up when there are arrests made other than that it’s just another story to be told at bars!
“USIP is a nonpartisan organization funded by Congress “
LOLOL...maybe it’s nonpartisan grifting. That I would believe.
Wait - Musk is a lawyer too? When did DOGE take over DOJ?
Yeah, I wanna see some o-dark thirty raids. Bash their doors down and arrest them in their underwear.
Musk cannot initiate court proceedings. Idiots
Deleting data, almost certainly embezzlement, and other crimes related to their “work”. Is Pam Blondi going to be arresting people tomorrow?
BTW, they barricaded themselves in their offices and DOGE had to use Marshals and construction crews to gain entry.
Well Pam?
No, Musk isn’t a lawyer. (His parents were married)
The point is that he is finding massive amounts of fraud, embezzlement, and despite his discoveries, Kash and Pam Blondi are taking no action.
Not an arrest, an indictment, nor a 5am SWAT raid.
Like with a cloth?
