Fox's Jesse Watters interviewed Elon Musk and his DOGE team on their achievements after the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term in office.
DOGE has saved $160 billion so far.
They spoke about some of the stunning things they had found, including that close to $5 trillion was paid out by the Treasury without a budget code. That meant no one could trace where the money was going, "It could have been for anything," a DOGE member explained.
🚨HOLY SH*T!

DOGE revealed that the Treasury was spending upwards of 5 TRILLION a year without a "budget code" on it.
That means nobody knew what the money was going towards.

There was also a "$4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education." A DOGE member explained there were no receipts required to draw down money from that account. They said the money had been used to rent out "Caesar's Palace for parties" among other things.
So DOGE implemented a requirement that before you draw down money, you have to upload a receipt. It's wild that this wasn't already normal practice. But Elon Musk explained that the drawing down of the money stopped when they asked for receipts. "They were basically partying on the taxpayer money," Musk explained.

They also alleged they found some wild things when they looked into the Institute for Peace.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! DOGE uncovered a MASSIVE arsenal of weapons and payments to the TALIBAN in the US Institute of Peace

ELON: "They even deleted a VAST amount of financial information. That's the definition of a coverup."
They've now been referred to the DBI & DOJ.

There was a humorous moment when Watters asked them which one of them was "Big Balls." Elon joked, "That should be obvious!" "Big Balls" was working on "payment computer stuff."
🚨 LMAO! Elon Musk just unveiled the identity of Big Balls

"That should be obvious" 🤣
Big Balls is working on payment systems, and he says the most common response to what payments are from agency officials is "I dunno."
Infuriating. pic.twitter.com/A2i3GAlNcs
With most of the payment systems, you didn't know where the money was going, he said. The money distribution had no checks and no accountability to the American taxpayer. He called it a "huge vector" for fraud, waste, and abuse.
Perhaps the most shameful thing is how the left has responded to Elon and his crew. They should thank them for what they have been doing for the country. Instead, they've demonized them. Elon and the team have faced threats, and Tesla vehicles and dealerships have been attacked. A team member spoke about how he'd dropped out of Harvard to join the team and lost friends, but he did it because he thought it was so important.
🚨PERSONAL RISK: Elon and DOGE employees talk about the risk they’ve taken on to root out waste and fraud in the government:

ELON: "There've been people that have actively advocated at these violent protests for my death, and also advocated for the death of the people at DOGE."… pic.twitter.com/bmRVZTYxy8
He believed that what they were doing was so much more important than what you could learn in a classroom.

While Elon Musk is stepping back to fewer official working days so he can continue with his businesses and because there's a limitation about how much time he can work as a special government employee, he's not giving up on DOGE, and his team will continue.
Editor’s Note: Elon Musk and DOGE are bringing much-needed accountability to our out-of-control bureaucracy as they take a chainsaw to rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.
