Elon Musk isn’t holding back. The billionaire entrepreneur—now spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Trump’s administration—dropped a bombshell over the weekend, exposing a staggering level of waste, fraud, and mismanagement inside the federal government.
Musk took to X to reveal that Treasury officials were instructed to approve payments to literally anyone—including fraudulent actors and even terrorist organizations.
“The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once,” Musk posted.

For years, conservatives have sounded the alarm on reckless government spending, but this revelation is something else. If true, it means American tax dollars have been routinely funneled to criminals—while working-class Americans are left struggling with inflation caused by out-of-control government largesse.
Trump’s Administration Takes Action—Swamp Bureaucrats Panic
The New York Times confirmed Musk’s claims, reporting that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent granted DOGE full access to the federal government’s payment system. Given that the Treasury handles nearly $6 trillion per year in spending, Musk’s task force is now in prime position to audit and expose every dollar wasted under Biden’s watch.
The Left is panicking.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, took to social media to melt down over DOGE’s new authority, whining that Musk and Trump now have access to Social Security, Medicare, grants, and government contracts.
“Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system,” Wyden complained.
Translation: Democrats are terrified their money-laundering schemes are about to be exposed.
Adding fuel to the fire, The Washington Post reported that David A. Lebryk, a Biden-era Treasury official, abruptly quit his post last week after refusing to grant DOGE access. But his exit didn’t stop Trump’s team from moving full steam ahead.
Musk Mocks the Bureaucrats: ‘Working Weekends is a Superpower’
While Washington bureaucrats ran for the hills, Musk made one thing clear: DOGE isn’t playing by the Swamp’s lazy rules.
“Very few in the bureaucracy actually work the weekend, so it’s like the opposing team just leaves the field for 2 days! Working the weekend is a superpower,” Musk quipped.

It’s a stark contrast to Biden’s sleepy administration, where government officials spent more time pushing DEI and climate propaganda than actually governing.
Trump’s Mission: Expose the Grift, Cut the Waste
President Trump created DOGE via executive order on Day One of his second term, mandating that government agencies grant full access to internal financial platforms, IT systems, and records. This isn’t just about rooting out a few bad apples—it’s about dismantling the Deep State’s money pipeline.
Trump and Musk have long previewed this initiative, with the billionaire warning during an August X interview with Trump that reckless government spending is fueling inflation and hurting everyday Americans.
“A lot of people just don’t understand where inflation comes from. Inflation comes from government overspending because the checks never bounce when it’s written by the government,” Musk explained.
“Really, we need to reduce our government spending, and we need a government efficiency commission to say like, ‘Hey, where are we spending money that’s sensible? Where is it not sensible?’”
Well, DOGE is that commission, and it looks like Musk just flipped the lights on in the roach-infested Washington swamp.
Buckle Up, the Trump-Musk Era is Just Getting Started
With Musk and Trump in command, corrupt bureaucrats are finally being held accountable. The Treasury fraud bombshell is just the beginning of what’s sure to be a massive takedown of Washington’s wasteful spending machine.
For years, Democrats funneled money into their pet projects, foreign wars, and shady NGOs while forcing hardworking Americans to foot the bill. That’s over.
Expect more panic from the Left, more tears from the Deep State, and more winning for American taxpayers as Trump drains the swamp—again.
