Musk's DOGE uncovers $382M in fraudulent unemployment claims

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed shocking findings of widespread unemployment fraud, uncovering $382 million in improper claims, including payments to fictitious individuals such as toddlers and those over 115 years old. Notably, 24,500 claimants aged over 115 received $59 million, while 28,000 toddlers fraudulently claimed $254 million. The investigation also identified 9,700 claimants with future birthdates, including one purportedly born in 2154 who collected $41,000. Musk expressed disbelief at the findings, emphasizing the lack of basic verification checks in government systems. The states of California, New York, and Massachusetts were found to account for a significant portion of these fraudulent claims, totaling $305 million. The revelations have ignited outrage among lawmakers and calls for accountability within the administration.
