Elon Musk's D.O.G.E is investigating wealthy federal employees for fraudulent behavior

In a bold and unprecedented move, the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) of Elon Musk is conducting an extensive investigation into federal employees whose net worth far exceeds their official salary. This office, originally established by former President Donald Trump, is tasked with tracking down government employees who earn a few hundred thousand dollars but mysteriously own assets worth millions of dollars. Discovering suspicious wealth in the federal management system Speaking at the Baseball Hall, Elon Musk did not hesitate to address this issue. "We find it quite strange that many people in the administrative system have salaries of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow manage to accumulate tens of millions of dollars in net worth," he said. "We're just curious to know where it comes from." Musk's skepticism stems from the significant disparity between the reported income of some government officials and their actual financial situation. His young investigative team is actively reviewing payroll records, tracking employees' assets, and identifying cases of accumulated wealth that raise red flags. Federal Agencies Ordered to Cooperate Trump has instructed federal agencies to fully cooperate, ensuring that DOGE has access to all the records and resources necessary to conduct the investigation. As part of a larger effort to reduce government inefficiency, the administration has implemented a new hiring policy: only one new federal employee can be hired for every four who leave, except for roles in law enforcement, national security, immigration, and public safety. A White House memo has confirmed that this strategy is part of Trump's larger initiative to streamline the federal workforce and cut unnecessary expenses. Elon Musk and Trump solidarity In a rare joint appearance at the Birth Room, Musk and Trump defended DOGE's methods. The billionaire entrepreneur shared his findings on X (previously on Twitter), exposing what he deemed to be systemically inefficient practices and fraudulent activities within the government. "It's like a large number of white checks flying out of the building," Musk declared, emphasizing the lack of supervision in the financial system of the Ministry of Finance. Although no specific evidence has been presented, Musk still asserts that some of his statements may be incorrect and welcomes public scrutiny. "Believe me, I want to be wrong. I want to prove to myself that the scale of corruption I discovered is, you know, inaccurate," he said. Impact on federal employees The future remains uncertain for thousands of federal workers. Trump has declared that he will push for DOGE discoveries through Congress if necessary, despite legal challenges from federal judges who have previously blocked his efforts to restructure his government agencies. A judge in Rhode Island recently ruled that the White House did not fully comply with the federal billion-dollar relief fund disbursement order, further complicating the government's reform efforts. Employees who oppose voluntary buyouts may face an uncertain fate. Under the regulations on downsizing, federally employed workers facing layoffs may receive up to a year's salary as a severance payment, depending on their age and years of service. Some may be transferred, while others may be laid off immediately. Strong support from financial leaders Musk's strong efforts to drive efficiency have garnered support from influential figures in the financial industry. The newly appointed Finance Minister Scott Bessent has fully aligned the Finance Ministry's mission with DOGE. Meanwhile, Ken Griffin, the billionaire founder of Citadel, has praised Musk's efforts while criticizing Trump's trade policies. "He will do whatever it takes to win," Griffin said at the UBS Financial Services Conference in Miami. "Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for ensuring that my tax dollars are spent efficiently." The ruthless effective history of Musk Elon Musk's approach to government downsizing follows his well-documented history of quickly and decisively restructuring businesses. At Tesla, he laid off 9% of the workforce in 2018 and 22% in 2023, with termination emails sent at 2 a.m. His acquisition of Twitter (, now known as X), in 2022 resulted in the dismissal of 80% of employees—around 6,000 staff. This achievement shows that Musk will not hesitate to make rapid and comprehensive changes within federal agencies, despite opposition from managers and legislators. The road ahead of DOGE With Musk as the leader, DOGE's mission to uncover and eliminate government waste is just beginning. The findings from the office could have far-reaching impacts, not only for federal employees but also for the entire government expenditure structure. Will Musk's aggressive strategies lead to real reform or will they have to face insurmountable legal and political obstacles? However, it is clear that DOGE is creating a wave, and the days of uncontrolled reckless spending may soon come to an end. DYOR! #Write2Earn #BTCStateReserves $DOGE {spot}(DOGEUSDT)
