“The world’s richest man is dying to figure out how lawmakers on Capitol Hill got ‘strangely wealthy’ despite their comparatively modest public salaries. Speaking at a town hall in Wisconsin Sunday night, Elon Musk suggested that his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate how certain members of Congress have achieved generational wealth. One attendee at the town hall had asked Musk if DOGE had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to Rep. Maxine Waters [D-CA], Sen. Adam Schiff [D-CA] and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer [D-NY]. ‘They’ll [the government] send the money overseas to one NGO [non-governmental organization], then they’ll go through a bunch of them, and then I’m highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to the United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned,’ Musk replied.” (03/31/25)
