Musk's DOGE Investigates 'Strangely Wealthy' Congress Members

Elon Musk, during a recent town hall in Wisconsin, announced that his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate how certain members of Congress have become 'strangely wealthy' despite modest public salaries. He highlighted concerns over a potential 'fraud loophole' where funds from NGOs are sent overseas and eventually return to enrich lawmakers. Musk specifically questioned how some legislators can amass fortunes, citing former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Rick Scott as examples of wealthy Congress members. He emphasized the need for transparency, stating, 'How do they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year?' His remarks come amid ongoing scrutiny of financial ethics among lawmakers. The investigation aims to connect the dots and potentially curb corruption linked to congressional wealth accumulation.
