DOGE leader Elon Musk gets some staff together once a week at 10 p.m. They each answer the question, "what did you get done this week?" A media guy got to sit in on one of these meetings and discovered more absurdities that our taxes have been paying for:
- Investigation found that a $4 billion covid fund was used to rent stadiums for parties, with no explanation. Correction: now any drawdown must be identified as to purpose and receipts must be uploaded.
- Alpaca farming in Peru
- Marketing of peas in Guatamala
- GAO also found that only 10-15% of the money for these causes was actually getting to the stated destination.
- So it's possible that "no one got a sex change in Guatemala" (a worthless expense discovered months ago)
- Grants may go to a cause that sounds good theoretically, like "save the baby pandas," but no evidence is forthcoming that any panda was actually saved.
