WASHINGTON — Elon Musk on Tuesday called for the arrest of leaders of “fake” organizations that receive federal funds — saying they represent a politically connected “uniparty” that’s engaged in “money laundering” of taxpayer resources.
The Department of Government Efficiency chief’s call for legal action comes as he spearheads efforts to trim annual federal spending by $1 trillion to halve the deficit.
“With respect to the non-governmental organizations, these sort of fake NGOs, I think there needs to be a number of arrests,” Musk said in an interview on Fox News’ “The Five.”
“These are fake charities [run by] mostly Democrats… there’s sometimes a little bit of Republican in there, because they sometimes throw the Republicans a bone to say, ‘Hey, be quiet about this.’ So that’s where you start getting the uniparty thing going on,” Musk said.
“But it is overwhelmingly to Democrats, and they give these billions of dollars to NGOs run by Democrats that then go through a whole network of additional NGOs — it’s a giant money laundering scheme. Really at this point, I think the word NGO and money laundering are almost synonymous.”
The term “uniparty” is commonly used by President Trump’s supporters to describe politicians of both major parties who hold similar thinking on government operations, spending and foreign policy — generally in opposition to Trump’s populist agenda.
Musk does not have the power to order criminal investigations, but his immense influence could elevate the idea among Trump’s appointees at the Justice Department and in US attorney offices.

No one in particular was trafficking taxpayer money to no one in particular.
NGOs are the 1000 points of light. >:->
These NGO’s launder money back to Democratic candidates because most of these NGO’s pay their officers 6 to 7 figure salaries and they use that money to get back to their husbands or wives or sisters or brothers or cousins who are elected officials. It’s called the circle game.

Oh, those at the NGOs in control were receiving it. Arrest them and watch them flip, or face decades in prisons.
The NGO’s could not have succeed with getting this money without help from within the government. And it is even more important to go after those officials. Go after them all. If they do then I will be a true believer.
Congress should outlaw giving taxpayer dollars to any NGO. Period!
I don’t care how honest some might be or how noble their mission or how well they spend the money.
If an NGO is worth anything they can get their funding from private donations.
Zip, nada, zilch from the U.S. Treasury.
That would be pleasant.
Totally agree. NGOs are roaches and termites eating away at our foundation and they need to be fumigated out of existence.
exactly correct,
‘somebody’ was money laundering to ‘somebody’

It's one thing to ban their tax-exempt status (which is fine), but it's quite another to ban the right of free association.
I’m not sure I follow you.
The “right to free association” does not mean a right to receive taxpayer dollars.
If it does I’d like to freely associate myself with about $100 million dollars.
I promise not to launder any of it back to any politician.
A NGO that is financed by the government isn’t an NGO
