The following article, Brown Pants Time: Musk’s DOGE Team Could Make Criminal Referrals, was first published on The Black Sphere.

By now the world know that President Trump enlisted Elon Musk to spearhead a new initiative aimed at scrutinizing the very institutions that have long operated without real oversight. Well, the president upped the ante.

Musk has been tasked with hiring 45 DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) agents to audit the FBI, CIA, and the Pentagon. While finding 45 clones of Musk’s current team might be a challenge, his existing squad of five has already sent Democrats into a panic. Imagine what nine more teams of five could do.

It’s safe to say that many in D.C. are now reaching for their brown underwear. Because for years, Americans have wondered how bureaucrats amass fortunes seemingly overnight. DOGE may have provided the answer: systemic fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer dollars. The only thing missing was someone with both the resources and audacity to expose it.

Musk’s Common-Sense Reforms: The Horror!

Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to outline some painfully obvious financial reforms that, somehow, never existed before:

“To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:

• Require that all outgoing government payments have a categorization code, which is necessary to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits nearly impossible.
• All payments must include a rationale in the comment field, which is currently left blank. We are not yet applying judgment to these rationales, just requiring that SOME explanation be provided instead of NOTHING!
• The DO-NOT-PAY list—entities known to be fraudulent, deceased individuals, probable terrorist fronts, or those not matching Congressional appropriations—must actually be implemented and not ignored. Right now, it can take up to a year to get on this list, which is unacceptable. It should be updated weekly, if not daily.

These ridiculously obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is insane that these changes weren’t already in place!”

Translation: The federal government has been operating like a college kid who just discovered Venmo—except instead of splitting a pizza, they’re moving billions with no accountability.

Government Efficiency? The Ultimate Oxymoron

Musk’s proposed reforms aren’t revolutionary; they’re basic financial hygiene. Yet, the mere idea of demanding receipts has bureaucrats scrambling. That’s because, unlike a normal business, the government doesn’t care about losing money. It has an infinite checkbook (ours) and zero incentive to turn a profit. Budgets never shrink, waste is never penalized, and incompetence is routinely rewarded with bigger paychecks and more funding.

Take Musk’s latest revelation:

“Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlement payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious. When I asked Treasury officials for a rough guess on how much of that is unequivocal fraud, the consensus was about half—so $50B/year, or $1B/week!! This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.”

One billion dollars a week in fraud. Just take a second to process that. No private business could sustain such losses and survive. Yet, for the government, this level of financial hemorrhaging is just another day at the office.

FEMA’s Five-Star Scam

If that wasn’t outrageous enough, Musk highlighted another jaw-dropping example of government waste:

“The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. This violated the law and directly defied the President’s executive order. That money was meant for American disaster relief and was instead spent on high-end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.”

A clawback? In the federal government? Now, that’s a historic first. If Musk’s team can claw back funds from FEMA’s five-star giveaway, what other fraud-riddled expenditures might be next?

The Multi-Millionaire Bureaucrat Mystery

Of course, wasteful spending is only half the story. The real scandal is how public servants somehow end up with private fortunes. Case in point:

EX-USAID CHIEF SAMANTHA POWER’S NET WORTH SKYROCKETS—FROM $6.7M TO $30M ON A $180K SALARY

Yes, you read that correctly. Samantha Power, Biden’s ex-USAID chief, saw her wealth grow by over $23M in just three years—on a government salary. USAID oversees billions in global funding. Was she cashing in? The American people deserve answers.

As one X user succinctly put it:

“Thanks to @elonmusk and DOGE, we can finally answer the question: How do elected officials and bureaucrats making $200,000 a year accumulate multi-million dollar fortunes? Answer: They’re thieves who use covert schemes to loot the Treasury and steal from the American taxpayer.”

The Tip of the Iceberg

And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse:

The U.S. government recently recovered more than $31 million in federal payments that went to dead people. One Treasury official admitted this was “just the tip of the iceberg.”

We are left with only three possibilities: Our government is either run by morons, crooks, or a mix of both. None of these inspire confidence.

The Extradition Rush Begins

Over the coming months, as Musk’s DOGE team moves from uncovering financial crimes to making criminal referrals, expect to see a sudden spike in one-way flights to Ecuador—a country with no extradition treaty.

After all, when the cookie jar finally gets locked, the only option left is to run.
