US President Donald Trump has formed the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) department. The head of this department is Tesla owner Elon Musk. Meanwhile, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has objected to the US government's payment system.

 

In fact, Musk has claimed that there are huge irregularities in the government payment system and potential fraud of more than $ 100 billion every year. He has shared a post in this regard on the social media platform X. He wrote that the Finance Department and the Government Efficiency Department have together set new rules to monitor government payments.

 

Musk set new rules

Elon Musk said that the Finance Department and the Government Efficiency Department have jointly set new rules for monitoring government payments. From now on, all government payments will be made under the new rules. There will be a 'payment classification code' for government payments. This will make it easier to audit these payments later.

 

The Tesla CEO said that earlier no code was used for any government payments, which made audits difficult. Musk also said that it would be necessary to give a reason in a comment for the payments. According to Musk, till now this part was left blank.

 

What did Trump focus on?

On the same social media post, Musk said that it includes fraudulent organizations or dead or suspicious organizations or any wrong payee. He said that it is not being updated on time. Musk said that right now it is taking more than a year to update the name in it, but it should be updated every week. If it is not able to be updated daily.

 

There is a scam every week

Elon Musk also claimed that every year in America, about $100 billion is being given to people who do not have a Social Security Number (SSN). He said that it is very suspicious. In this regard, he also asked the officials of the Finance Department that how much of this can definitely be a fraud. The answer to this was that there could be a fraud of about $50 billion (1 billion dollars every week). After this, Musk said that this problem should definitely be solved.

 

What did Musk tell people?

Elon Musk also shared a chart in another post. While sharing this chart, he wrote that the amount of fraud in government payments (which is paid from your taxes) is much bigger than you think! He called it a serious issue and said that the government should take action as soon as possible.
