Elon Musk revealed a couple of the biggest scams uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during an interview with Senator Ted Cruz.
Musk appeared on Ted Cruz’s podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz” with co-host Ben Ferguson to discuss DOGE and the first 50 days of the Trump Administration.
The episode, which was filmed at the White House, aired on Monday.
Elon Musk said DOGE has found MILLIONS of government credit cards with a $10,000 limit.
DOGE says it has saved approximately $105 billion in a “combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings,” and other workforce reductions.
The Democrats are angry that DOGE is saving American taxpayers money, so they devised a scheme to stop Elon Musk and his team.
There are currently nearly a dozen lawsuits challenging DOGE over its authority, data access, and privacy laws.
There is also a secret resistance agreement between 14 states to conduct coordinated lawfare against DOGE and Elon Musk.
Last week, DOGE announced that it had already deactivated 200,000 government credit cards in 16 agencies.
However, there are a total of 4.6 million active credit cards/accounts!
Weekly Credit Card Update!

Elon Musk said DOGE “found twice as many credit cards as there are humans. And these are cards with $10,000 per month limits! That’s a lot of money!”
“What’s the waste-to-fraud ratio? In my opinion, it’s 80% waste, 20% fraud,” Elon Musk said.

Elon Musk also said that one of the biggest scams uncovered is the money laundering operation involving so-called ‘nonprofits.’
“One of the biggest scams we’ve uncovered is that the government can give money to so-called nonprofits with very few controls and there’s no auditing of that nonprofit,” Elon Musk said.
Nonprofits take billions of dollars from the US government, and there is no oversight or auditing of the firm.
Democrat grifters like Stacey Abrams are getting exposed for creating nonprofits and taking billions of dollars from taxpayers.
“They then give themselves extremely lavish, like insane salaries, expense everything to the nonprofit – you know, buy jets and homes all sorts of things,” Elon Musk said.
