Latest / Elon Musk Thinking / DOGES Team meeting with Elon Musk!!!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So like a board meeting, like a board meeting.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Exactly. All right, well, I guess we normally go on
- 0:09Speaker 2: the table say what do we get done this week?
- 0:15Speaker 3: Sure, we saw with you, so actually a lot of
- 0:21Speaker 3: great work in the treasury this week. One of the
- 0:24Speaker 3: crazy things with regards to the Treasury is that when
- 0:28Speaker 3: a payment is made, and the computers at the Treasury
- 0:30Speaker 3: actually paid about five trillion dollars per year, like crazy amounts.
- 0:35Speaker 3: There was formerly not a budget code on there, so
- 0:38Speaker 3: if not a payment was made, you didn't know actually
- 0:40Speaker 3: what it was for.
- 0:41Speaker 1: It could have been for anything.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a four billion dollars COVID fund in
- 0:46Speaker 3: the Department of Education and there was no receipts required,
- 0:49Speaker 3: so people we just drawed down on it. And when
- 0:51Speaker 3: people looked into it, this wasn't justice was before us.
- 0:54Speaker 3: They found that money was being used to rent out
- 0:56Speaker 3: Caesar's Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera. And
- 1:00Speaker 3: so the one change that DOGE made with our education
- 1:03Speaker 3: is we had the simple requirement that if you draw
- 1:05Speaker 3: down money, you must first upload a receipt. That was
- 1:09Speaker 3: the only change that was made. You must upload your
- 1:11Speaker 3: receipt and upon doing so. Yes, nobody drew down any
- 1:14Speaker 3: money anymore.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Yes, but we didn't say that we'd check the receipt.
- 1:18Speaker 2: You could send a bank receipt, you could send a
- 1:20Speaker 2: picture of your.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Dog, anything, anything, anything.
- 1:27Speaker 2: But as soon as we asked for anything at all,
- 1:30Speaker 2: that something, the requests.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Were like, oh, we don't need it anymore. Oh that's interesting.
- 1:35Speaker 1: They were renting Caesar's palace.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Yes, they were like basically partying on the text tayer
- 1:40Speaker 2: of money.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Stadiums, Yes, leasing.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Stadium mssing stadiums for what for parties? Basically for parties.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Yes, that's a big parties, big party.
- 1:53Speaker 4: You'd think if you were stealing, you'd start small.
- 1:56Speaker 2: They do stop small, But then what happens is over
- 1:59Speaker 2: the years. So generally the fraud starts out small and
- 2:02Speaker 2: they try to hide it. But then year after year,
- 2:05Speaker 2: if nobody stops the fraud, it gets more and more brazen,
- 2:08Speaker 2: and every year it gets bigger until they're literally renting
- 2:12Speaker 2: out stadiums like.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Millions to run out of the stadium. Fraud infragrante delecto. Okay,
- 2:21Speaker 1: we're talking about at scale.
- 2:25Speaker 4: This is driving me crazy. When you find these things,
- 2:28Speaker 4: do you guys get mad? And you're like, yes, I
- 2:31Speaker 4: got one.
- 2:31Speaker 1: How does it?
- 2:32Speaker 4: How does it make you feel so common?
- 2:38Speaker 1: I mean you just get numb it. Unfortunately, like the
- 2:41Speaker 1: hundredth time you've heard it, you're just tald not to.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Get a little numb, you know, like and by the
- 2:47Speaker 2: two hundred time, you're like, well, okay, it's just another
- 2:49Speaker 2: day at the office.
- 2:50Speaker 5: We checked, is the Small Business Administration giving loans to
- 2:54Speaker 5: dead people?
- 2:55Speaker 6: People over the age of one hundred and twenty.
- 2:58Speaker 5: The answer was yes, and it was around three hundred
- 3:02Speaker 5: thirty million dollars in total.
- 3:03Speaker 2: So people with a birthday that could not possibly be real,
- 3:06Speaker 2: meaning they're they're over one hundred there one hundred and
- 3:08Speaker 2: fifteen years old or older.
- 3:10Speaker 1: The oldest living Americans one hundred and fourteen.
- 3:13Speaker 2: So the safe to save anybody is in the system
- 3:15Speaker 2: as one hundred and fifteen years or older.
- 3:17Speaker 1: That is fake.
- 3:18Speaker 7: So just by sharing a database and looking at social
- 3:22Speaker 7: Security numbers that showed that at the time of the
- 3:26Speaker 7: loan they had listed at over one hundred and fifteen
- 3:29Speaker 7: years old were actually under eleven. We didn't even check
- 3:32Speaker 7: that for under eighteen. Maybe under eleven years old.
- 3:34Speaker 1: That's pretty great, baby had people were getting loans that was.
- 3:38Speaker 6: Six hundred and sixty million dollars.
- 3:41Speaker 1: And also people with birth dates in the future. What
- 3:44Speaker 1: does that mean? Well, in one I mean I think
- 3:48Speaker 1: like the birthday, birthday.
- 3:50Speaker 8: I think in one case was like fetuses, we're getting
- 3:52Speaker 8: well not even really is sort of a you're talking
- 3:56Speaker 8: about like your great grandchildren. Like with the birth date,
- 3:59Speaker 8: I think like twenty one sixty five, so more than
- 4:03Speaker 8: essentially from now, where's the birthday? George Jetson was getting aid, Yes,
- 4:08Speaker 8: because your birthday is in the future, like the far
- 4:10Speaker 8: like the far future, not like next year.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And we either this is either fraudulent or we have
- 4:17Speaker 1: your birthday.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Wrong, either a typo or someone stealing.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Which is it? Right? Yes, you should at least ask
- 4:25Speaker 1: which is it?
- 4:26Speaker 4: Do you guys feel you're getting justice and accountability?
- 4:32Speaker 9: What are the extreme examples of non accountability?
- 4:36Speaker 6: In some cases is has a credit as some of
- 4:38Speaker 6: the small agencies. I think the Inter American Foundation IF.
- 4:42Speaker 9: Is one of the agencies to be visited where you
- 4:46Speaker 9: know they get fifty million dollars a year congressional money
- 4:49Speaker 9: to give grants. These are things like you know Apaca
- 4:52Speaker 9: farming and.
- 4:53Speaker 6: Threw improving them.
- 4:55Speaker 1: That's a real example, that's.
- 4:56Speaker 9: The real description improving the marketability of p in Guatemala
- 5:02Speaker 9: really fruit jam and yes, what yeah, So you might expect,
- 5:08Speaker 9: you know, in the private sectory nonprofit to give you know,
- 5:11Speaker 9: eighty to ninety percent of their money to grantees. In
- 5:15Speaker 9: the case of IAF that was fifty eight percent. So
- 5:19Speaker 9: the other half goes towards management, oh.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Travel, what would you find exactly? I mean too, an
- 5:25Speaker 1: example is is that even if you agreed with with.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Supporting our pack up armas in Peru, well, actually most
- 5:34Speaker 2: of the money never made it out of DC. It's
- 5:38Speaker 2: going into the pockets people in the neighborhood.
- 5:40Speaker 1: What percent to Peru? Right?
- 5:42Speaker 4: So what percentage do you think doesn't even get to
- 5:45Speaker 4: the destination it's supposed to.
- 5:49Speaker 2: I believe the GAO estimates. This is not our estimate.
- 5:53Speaker 2: I believe it was on the order of only ten
- 5:56Speaker 2: to fifteen cents on the dollar actually gets to the
- 5:58Speaker 2: end recipient. Whether you agree with that, calls are not.
- 6:01Speaker 4: So they're just stealing the money before it even gets anywhere.
- 6:05Speaker 1: There's layers of stealing.
- 6:07Speaker 2: So this's like there's the first layer of stealing, second
- 6:10Speaker 2: layer of stealing, third layer of stealing subcontractors the exactly
- 6:15Speaker 2: contract or subcontractor subcontractors like feeling an onion and then
- 6:19Speaker 2: maybe and sometimes it's zero.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Just you get to the bottom of the onion, there's
- 6:23Speaker 1: nothing there.
- 6:25Speaker 4: So maybe no one got a sex change in Guatemala.
- 6:27Speaker 2: It's possible that no one got a sex change of Gluatemala.
- 6:30Speaker 10: I overheard a contractor tell one of her colleagues to
- 6:34Speaker 10: falsify billable hours by creating a power point to mask
- 6:38Speaker 10: and delay in the onboarding process in front of me.
- 6:41Speaker 10: And this is like hour zero at this agency. And
- 6:44Speaker 10: so I mean, this is just a common theme that
- 6:46Speaker 10: you take a look at these contracts, you take a
- 6:48Speaker 10: look at these grants and is veiled in noble rhetoric.
- 6:51Speaker 10: You know, it's at the top level. It's like, sounds good, Yeah,
- 6:54Speaker 10: it sounds amazing. And then you actually just follow what
- 6:56Speaker 10: is the what are the funds actually doing?
- 6:58Speaker 1: Or send us a picture exactly, and the sent us
- 7:02Speaker 1: a picture.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Request is incredibly good, like pixel it didn't happen, And
- 7:07Speaker 2: and they're like, and it wouldn't be that hard to
- 7:09Speaker 2: just frankly, they could sto just for some fake picks
- 7:12Speaker 2: on the internet, or get AI to generate the picks.
- 7:14Speaker 1: But they don't even bother doing that. So you caught
- 7:16Speaker 1: them cold billing fraud.
- 7:20Speaker 10: I caught them her advising or colleague to do this
- 7:23Speaker 10: because it takes a few days to onboard.
- 7:25Speaker 1: So that is being investigated right now.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean generally, like like these programs, these grounds
- 7:31Speaker 2: are going to be like along lines of save the
- 7:33Speaker 2: baby pandas and it's like, well, of course, who wouldn't
- 7:36Speaker 2: want to save the baby pandas? And and you know,
- 7:41Speaker 2: in some cases they've got a show panda, which they
- 7:44Speaker 2: will they will try it out for special occasions. In
- 7:47Speaker 2: a lot of cases they don't even have a show panda. No,
- 7:50Speaker 2: there's not even one panda. Because we asked for pictures
- 7:54Speaker 2: and we don't even get one panda. And he's like,
- 7:57Speaker 2: well you got to well that's a lot.
- 7:59Speaker 1: You know, what's the what's what's the billion dollars get you?
- 8:02Speaker 1: Does not even get you one pandam? You really want
- 8:04Speaker 1: to see a baby pandam? Yeah, Well, like you know,
- 8:07Speaker 1: like be a ball of money. We're like, okay, well
- 8:09Speaker 1: we agree with like we shouldn't have a bola. You know,
- 8:12Speaker 1: where is the money going?
- 8:14Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to Deloitte and DC, Like, what is
- 8:17Speaker 2: an accounting for him doing with the Bola money?
- 8:20Speaker 1: What has been the biggest resistance? Is there one agency?
- 8:25Speaker 4: Is there one department that when you guys walk in,
- 8:30Speaker 4: they all start fighting, you start hiding.
- 8:35Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I guess you can answer that question. Sure,
- 8:42Speaker 2: I mean, let's let's yes, we've certainly had some battles. Battles, Yeah, yeah,
- 8:48Speaker 2: I mean you should talk about you.
- 8:50Speaker 11: Said, oh yeah, okay, the small agency called the United
- 8:55Speaker 11: States Institute of Peace. It's definitely the agency we had
- 8:59Speaker 11: the most fight out. We actually went into the agency
- 9:02Speaker 11: and found they had loaded guns inside of their headquarters.
- 9:06Speaker 6: And so two for peace.
- 9:07Speaker 2: I mean, any given company, any given organizational name, is
- 9:10Speaker 2: going to be going to be the opposite of the title,
- 9:12Speaker 2: right yeah.
- 9:13Speaker 11: Yeah, so it was by far the least peaceful agency
- 9:16Speaker 11: that we've worked with.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:17Speaker 6: Ironically, of course.
- 9:19Speaker 11: Additionally, we found that they were spending money on things
- 9:21Speaker 11: like private jets, and they even had a one hundred
- 9:24Speaker 11: and thirty thousand dollars contract with a former member of
- 9:26Speaker 11: the Taliban. This is real.
- 9:28Speaker 6: We don't encounter that at most agencies.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Yeah, what was the money going to the Taliban for
- 9:34Speaker 4: so it was a contractor.
- 9:36Speaker 11: They received one hundred and thirty thousand dollars for generic services.
- 9:38Speaker 11: And to Elon's point, there was not actually a clear
- 9:40Speaker 11: description of what the contractor services were for. But was
- 9:43Speaker 11: it for opium unclear?
- 9:47Speaker 6: Or weapons or nothing or nothing or a broade or yeah.
- 9:53Speaker 11: And you n actually have to ask the question how
- 9:55Speaker 11: did we get here? Like when the country was founded,
- 9:57Speaker 11: there were only four agencies. Today there are over four hundred,
- 10:00Speaker 11: so there's been a one hundred xcit increase in the
- 10:02Speaker 11: number of agencies since the foundering of the nation. And
- 10:05Speaker 11: thanks to President Trump, he's now signed two executive orders
- 10:08Speaker 11: to start to reduce the number of agencies in the government,
- 10:10Speaker 11: and the institute Apiece was one of them, which is
- 10:11Speaker 11: why our team went in to try and understand what
- 10:13Speaker 11: was going on, and that's when we found all the craziness,
- 10:16Speaker 11: like the weapons and their armory. We found the payments
- 10:19Speaker 11: to the Taliban.
- 10:21Speaker 1: The account Oh yeah, that so try to hide.
- 10:25Speaker 11: The evidence, right, So just a few hours after we
- 10:27Speaker 11: got into their headquarters, we found that their chief accountant
- 10:29Speaker 11: had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from
- 10:31Speaker 11: several leaders. So you'd have to ask the question, well,
- 10:34Speaker 11: why would somebody do that? If the Doch team fortunately
- 10:36Speaker 11: was able to recover that data with the help of
- 10:38Speaker 11: a few great employees at the Institute apiece. And I
- 10:41Speaker 11: think the most troubling thing was they received fifty five
- 10:43Speaker 11: million dollars a year from Congress, and any money that
- 10:45Speaker 11: went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they would
- 10:48Speaker 11: sweep it into a private bank account which had no
- 10:51Speaker 11: Congressional oversight, and that's what they would use to fund
- 10:54Speaker 11: things like events at their headquarters and the private jets.
- 10:57Speaker 11: And so I think it's a great example because most
- 11:00Speaker 11: most Americans don't know what's going on at a lot
- 11:02Speaker 11: of these smaller agencies, and this is a I think
- 11:04Speaker 11: the most extreme case of some of the.
- 11:07Speaker 6: Wasteful spend that we're finding.
- 11:09Speaker 4: So the agencies are hiding money from you, they're sending
- 11:12Speaker 4: into the Taliban, they have loaded weapons in the department.
- 11:17Speaker 6: Buildings at the Institute of Peace.
- 11:19Speaker 4: At the Institute of Peace, that's right, So this is
- 11:22Speaker 4: a cover up.
- 11:23Speaker 2: When you guys roll in this one cover up, they
- 11:28Speaker 2: delete a vast amount of financial information. That's really a
- 11:32Speaker 2: definition of a cover up.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Isn't that illegal to delete evidence? Yes, spread documents.
- 11:38Speaker 6: It is.
- 11:38Speaker 11: It's certainly illegal to delete accounting records that that Congress
- 11:42Speaker 11: would certainly want to know where the congressionally appropriated funds
- 11:45Speaker 11: are going from taxpayers when you.
- 11:47Speaker 4: Catch them going Hillary style on their computers, do you
- 11:52Speaker 4: refer this to the Department of Justice?
- 11:54Speaker 11: In this case, we did refer the evidence in the
- 11:56Speaker 11: accounting example to the FBI and DJ We're proud to
- 11:59Speaker 11: do that, so, yes, we did.
- 12:02Speaker 12: Resistance has shown up in some very surprising places. So
- 12:05Speaker 12: for example, the famous fork in the Road email, the
- 12:09Speaker 12: deferred resignation program. So this was a program where you
- 12:12Speaker 12: could resign from the government, collect paying benefits for the
- 12:16Speaker 12: next eight months, probably the most attractive separation program ever
- 12:22Speaker 12: in human history. And the resistance actually came from the
- 12:27Speaker 12: outside with people saying this is a trick, and I've
- 12:30Speaker 12: heard somebody refer to it as an apple with a
- 12:32Speaker 12: razor blade, and no, this was just a.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Really juicy apple, caramel dipped apple. It was that good.
- 12:40Speaker 6: But people were talked out of taking it.
- 12:42Speaker 5: And now what started to happen is we did it,
- 12:45Speaker 5: about eighty thousand people take it, and now those folks
- 12:48Speaker 5: who didn't take it are on the beach, or they've
- 12:50Speaker 5: moved on to a new job and they're still getting paid.
- 12:53Speaker 5: And so now we're starting to offer fork two and
- 12:56Speaker 5: fork three where people can see that someone's eating this
- 12:58Speaker 5: apple and it was actually really tasty and good for them.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Is those just getting started. This is a long term enterprise.
- 13:06Speaker 2: It's a long time enterprise because if we take our
- 13:09Speaker 2: eye off the ball, the waist and fraud will come
- 13:11Speaker 2: roaring back.
- 13:12Speaker 4: They can doze, doze when Democrats get back in power.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I think some of the things that like, we're trying
- 13:25Speaker 2: to have it be such that the funny is removed,
- 13:30Speaker 2: so the grants are gone.
- 13:31Speaker 1: So there's that there's a lot of work
- 13:33Speaker 2: Required to restart the waste of fraud and that
