Elon Musk is doing a deep dive into the federal government’s bloated budget.
What he’s found is worse than anyone could have imagined.
And Elon Musk stumbled on one horrifying discovery that left him in stunned silence.
The federal government has been kidnapped by the Deep State
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are auditing the federal government’s spending to identify waste, fraud, and abuse.
DOGE has managed to get the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) shuttered after uncovering woke spending around the globe at the foreign aid agency.
But USAID is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to wasteful spending.
U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) said that DOGE’s work is “absolutely essential to our ability to reclaim the government” during an interview on The Alex Marlow Show.
Lee argued that DOGE was helping take back control of the government for the people.
“It has been kidnapped by the Deep State, and DOGE is coming in there,” Lee said. “And for the first time in many, many decades, probably the first time in my lifetime anything like this has happened, you’ve got some experts who have been passed by the sitting President of the United States to weed out areas of waste, fraud, and abuse.”
Lee said that Republican politicians love to campaign on stopping waste, fraud, and abuse because it’s common sense but don’t deliver on it once they get to office.
“Elon Musk and his DOGE team . . . are actually systematically going through this,” Lee explained.
The Deep State hates the spotlight on the federal government’s spending
Democrats and their media allies have raged over DOGE exposing the corruption at USAID.
The Left launched protests after President Donald Trump announced that Musk would go on to audit other areas of the federal government.
Lee said that the Deep State hates having the inner workings of the federal government exposed.
“The Deep State doesn’t want to be tamed,” Lee stated. “It’s almost as if it’s an organic living thing that wants to protect its own life.”
He pointed out that a raft of lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration to stop DOGE’s work.
“And in the meantime, they’ve had litigation brought,” Lee said. “You’ve got this judge in New York, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer just forbade all political appointees, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, from accessing Department of Treasury data.”
Rogue judges want to use lawfare to keep Trump from being President by restricting basic constitutional actions.
“It was issued ex parte, meaning the Trump administration, employers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, weren’t even in the room. Only these, these Democrat attorneys general were heard. The judge cites no law or logic to support this really aggressive order,” Lee explained. “I don’t believe that the substance of the law is with the judge on this.”
Lee predicted the Democrat judges’ rulings against DOGE would be overturned on appeal.
“But I suspect this is the Deep State’s game. This is what they’re wanting to do. They wanted to delay every time they get the chance, recognizing that in some areas, the delay might be temporary, and others, it might be less temporary,” Lee stated. “But our job is to make sure that the delays themselves are as temporary and few and far between as possible, so that the work of DOGE can go on undeterred.”
DOGE is shining a spotlight on the bloated federal budget and the Deep State is panicking that the party is coming to an end.
