| 2025-04-01 |
| [Econ Times] Billionaire Elon Musk has claimed that his crew in DOGE would be looking into members of Congress whose wealth had increased significantly even though they get relatively modest paychecks, reported Daily Mail. The world's richest man revealed this during a town hall in Wisconsin on Sunday, where he also awarded two $1 million cash awards and made headlines over his clever jabs at a protester among his audience, as per the report. Musk, who is estimated to be worth $343 billion, has been a longtime critic of what he sees as the fiscal success of professional politicians, as per Daily Mail. While giving his speech, he expressed his doubts about how some lawmakers have accumulated enormous wealth when they had been receiving average congressional wages, reported Daily Mail. He said, "A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress, where I just can't, I'm trying to connect the dots of how they became rich," quoted Daily Mail. Musk also asked "How'd they get $20 million if they're earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that.," as quoted in the report. He then went on to say, "We're gonna try to figure it out, and certainly stop it from happening," quoted Daily Mail. Congress Members to Be Investigated According to Daily Mail, Musk, who heads DOGE, has specifically taken aim at Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren, whose cumulative net worth is reportedly estimated to be $439 million, as per a social media X post. Schumer is worth about $2.3 million, while Warren's tax returns indicate she is worth $9 million, as per a 2023 public disclosure, reported Daily Mail. |

| #2 Democrats in panic mode as Elon Musk and DOGE go public Musk concludes: "Biden was not asleep at the switch. This was a massive large-scale program to import as many illegals as possible, to ultimately change the voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people and make it a permanent deep blue one party state…" Musk has also revealed Democrats' nefarious funneling of money from the federal government and into thousands of liberal NGOs, which receive little oversight and which often serve the party instead of the country. |
