Billion-Dollar Survey? Musk’s DOGE Exposes Even More Shocking Federal Waste

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have uncovered more instances of government waste, this time highlighting how private contractors exploited the government during the Biden administration.

Musk pointed to one case involving a simple 10-question survey about Americans’ use of national parks. A contractor was charged nearly $1 billion—almost a third of the department’s budget—for the survey.

Musk said the survey could have been conducted for about $10,000 using platforms like SurveyMonkey.

Musk didn’t hide his shock at the sheer scale of waste, telling Fox News, “We routinely encounter wastes of a billion dollars or more.” He then noted that there appeared to be no feedback loop to utilize the survey results, making it even more wasteful.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
