How Elon Musk and DOGE are finding all that waste and graft so quickly | Eastern North Carolina Now

Elon Musk and his DOGE team have been phenomenal in finding and exposing waste, grift, and abuse in the federal government.  In just days, his team has exposed a billion dollars in DEI programs, which are both wasteful and anti-American and found a massive pile of inappropriate politically motivated spending at the rogue USAID.

GIven all the intricate trappings of bureaucracy throughout the federal government, the speed at which this misspending is being found and exposed is extremely impressive.   But is turns out Musk's team has a secret weapon.  Being computer geeks, they have harnassed Artificial Intelligence (AI) to rapidly pour through government spending to find what they are looking for.

For several years,rogue  USAID manage,enmt has managed to stall and block Congressiional investigators who smelled a big rat there.  However once Musk's team put their AI program to work, it all came out in short order.  And what they found is appalling ranging from ridiculous DEI programs to a billion dollars to the Islamic extremist Taliban in Afghanistan to heavily subsidizing leftwing media both domestically and abroad while funding efforts to stiffle conservative leaning media through censorship.

The Democrats have apparently figured out Musk's secret weapon.  That is why they are trying to get courts to cut off DOGE's access to government financial data.
