Business tycoon Elon Musk floated the idea that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is somehow profiting off of government fraud, though the lawmaker has pushed back.

"Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it?" Musk posted early Tuesday morning.

Musk, who has been spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to expose waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, made the comment in response to a Monday post in which Schumer accused DOGE of "sabotaging" Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — the post reflected sentiments Schumer had conveyed during a Senate speech.

Schumer fired back in response to Musk's suggestion he could be benefiting from government fraud.

"Another Elon lie. He wants you to think anyone who dares to stand up to him is committing fraud, meanwhile he’s taking tens of billions from the government," Schumer declared in a post on Tuesday.

If there's nothing to hide, where are the Congressional Budget Office, General Accounting Office, and Office of Management & Budget financial audits of these programs?

No audits = something to hide

Musk is probably about 50% through his proctological exam of our government.  Wonder if Chucky wants to call out Musk on his claim.

Elon has been playing pretty nice thus far not fingering individual lawmakers..    That could change pretty quickly

Finding a Legislator who is profiting from his position would probably be like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles.

Would love to know how much actual data there is available for review of thee expenditures.  If they are dry speadsheets and numbers, it might be pretty tough, but if there is some place a narrative is kept with each of these line item projects, I am guessing their has to be some level of sponsorship associated with these insane outlays. 

If those files are available, we should be able to find every culprit, if we look hard enough.

Take a look at elected officials' friends, family, and contributors to work your way back through their sources of income, especially via NGO's, "foundations," and LLC's.

Non-profits are not scrutinized by Wall Street, the Securities & Exchanges Commission, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury as much as for profit private and public companies.
