During a recent town hall in Wisconsin, Elon Musk expressed concerns over how some members of Congress have amassed significant wealth while earning relatively modest salaries. He announced that his initiative, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will investigate potential financial misconduct, particularly how funds from organizations like USAID might be funneled back to these lawmakers. Musk's remarks raise questions about transparency and accountability in government finances, especially as he navigates political support for judicial elections in Wisconsin.
"How do they get $20 million if they're earning $200,000 a year? We're going to try to figure it out and certainly stop it from happening."
"But it is a circuitous route. It doesn't go directly, but let's just say that there's a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress where I'm trying to connect the dots of, 'How do they become rich?'"
