Elon Musk scraps with Chuck Schumer, suggesting the senator profits from government fraud
Fox News ^ | Alex Nitzberg

Business tycoon Elon Musk floated the idea that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is somehow profiting off of government fraud, though the lawmaker has pushed back.

"Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it?" Musk posted early Tuesday morning.

Musk, who has been spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to expose waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, made the comment in response to a Monday post in which Schumer accused DOGE of "sabotaging" Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — the post reflected sentiments Schumer had conveyed during a Senate speech.

Schumer fired back in response to Musk's suggestion he could be benefiting from government fraud.

"Another Elon lie. He wants you to think anyone who dares to stand up to him is committing fraud, meanwhile he’s taking tens of billions from the government," Schumer declared in a post on Tuesday.

...

"The intern running Schumer’s social media account is lying," Musk shot back Tuesday on X.

The government fraud is how the Democratic War Machine is funded.

War against the American people is what the Democrat terrorists are all about - with our own money.

How sweet it would be to see Schumer the POS going to the big house

Grab his passport so he can’t flee.

No! I cannot believe that this is true. Elon has gone too far this time.

Of course he does, just like all democrats.

Why on earth would anyone think any differently what with the way the left is fighting tooth and nail to keep illegals, voter fraud, election fraud, wasteful government spending, and to stop DOGE from clearing out the dead wood from the federal government???????

Never argue with a man who buys toys that cost hundreds of billions.

Musk was being somewhat circumspect (for Musk). But if he doesn’t have a smoking gun, even what he posted could buy him a lawsuit. So, the question is, what (if anything) does Musk know about Schumer?

Chuck isn’t getting illegal dollars for his personal financial accounts.

However, Schumer likes leftist causes even if we don’t. This liking is most likely very costly.

His relatives might have legal though ill-deserved dollars from the Treasury.

Elon isn’t “taking” anything from the government. He sells them billions of dollars worth of products and services.

“NO other explanation could be possible!!”

Creating foreign perverts for US intelligence community exploitation is a possible goal of USAID funding.

I think Elon has seen some things and is having a hard time keeping it in

As Mad Maxine Waters said, "We don't know what all they have on us."

He may suspect but not know anything.

There’s the urban legend that someone sent a telegram to his friend saying “All is discovered; flee at once.” and the friend did.
