Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE, meant to cut waste, is under fire for high taxpayer-funded salaries.

DOGE staffers like Jeremy Lewin ($167K), Kyle Schutt ($195K), and Nate Cavanaugh ($120K) earn six figures, contradicting Musk’s claim that compensation is “zero.”

Despite DOGE boasting billions in savings, reports show exaggerations and corrections. The agency’s budget has hit $40 million, but funding sources remain unclear.

While DOGE was promised to be “maximum transparent,” spending details remain undisclosed, raising concerns about its true effectiveness.

      They have access to priceless, otherwise unobtainable, data with no ethics. They’ll unfortunately get paid one way or another.
