Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk spoke with FOX Business Channel host Larry Kudlow and said that USAID was a massive scam that funneled money to NGOs that were, for all intents and purposes, scams.

“Yes, yes. So demystify this. How do you do it? How big is your team? Where do you recruit most of them from? And what is it that makes you choose, you know, the Treasury or Social Security or USAID? How does it work? Let the public know, please,” Kudlow said.

“Right. Well, we just basically follow the money. You know, we look at the president’s executive orders and we also just follow the money,” Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla and Space X, said.

“So we started looking closely at USAID because they were completely violating the president’s executive orders to suspend foreign aid, you know, what’s called foreign aid, but in our view is a lot of corruption. So what we saw there is just a tremendous amount of money being sent to non-governmental organizations. But actually, this, by the way, is, I think, one of the biggest sources of fraud in the world is government-funded, non-governmental organizations,” the DOGE head said.

“This is a gigantic fraud loophole where the government can give money to an NGO and then there are no controls over that NGO. So they’ve given billions of dollars, in fact, we estimate tens of billions of dollars to NGOs that are essentially scams. By the way. I’m trying to put a stop to that,” Musk added.

He also said that Democrats do not want to see entitlement spending cuts because they attract illegal aliens.

“That is also a mechanism by which the Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here and then turning them into voters. Yes. So this is why the Democrats are so upset about the situation. Because they’re losing. You know, if we turn off this gigantic money magnet for illegal immigrants, then they will leave and they will lose voters,” Musk told Kudlow.
