Senator Chris Murphy Details Why DOGE Targeting Federal Agencies Is Just About ‘Making Elon Musk Rich’
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) believes there is an obvious reason why the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is explicitly targeting four federal agencies: It’s all about “making Elon Musk rich.”
Murphy took to Musk’s social media platform X to post a two-minute video that outlined a detailed explanation for the motivations behind the world’s wealthiest man — and arguably President Donald Trump’s most trusted advisor — ostensibly going after specific agencies to cut government wasteful spending but also lining his own pockets.
Murphy argued that Musk’s controversial and unchecked investigations into the Consumer Protection Bureau, USAID, the National Labor Relations Board, and the Department of Treasury payment systems (the Bureau of Fiscal Services) — which he’s consistently claimed were eliminating alleged corruption and fraud — though notably, without presenting any evidence in support of those claims.
Murphy concludes that if these agencies are destroyed, “Elon Musk and his billionaire cronies” stand to make them a “ton of money.” Murphy’s comments:
I want to walk you through the agencies that Doege has targeted from the outset because it tells you a story, a story that is not about cutting government waste. A story that’s about making Elon Musk rich.
Okay. Let me walk you through this. The four agencies that DOJ’s goes after first are the CFP, the Consumer Protection Bureau. Musk needs to destroy that agency. Why? Because he wants to set up a new global payment app on Twitter. And the only agency out there that would make sure that consumers are protected from abuses by a global payment app on Twitter, the CFP. The second agency he goes after is the NLRB. That’s the National Labor Relations Board.
Why does he go after the NLRB? Because the NLRB right now has 20 open cases against Tesla for union busting. The NLRB doesn’t exist functionally any longer. And guess what? Nobody can hold Elon Musk to account when he tries to destroy efforts by his workers to organize the third. USAID. He destroys USAID.
Why does that matter? Because the number one country that benefits from the USAID being destroyed is China. Where does Musk make all of his cars? China. Where does he have a half a dozen outstanding regulatory issues? China. China’s really happy about the destruction of USAID willing to do Musk more favors.
And finally, he goes after the Treasury Department. He’s got access to the entire Department of Treasury payments system. That’s really convenient for somebody that wants to build this global payment app. He can research his competitors and maybe he can even put them on the do not pay list, which is this top secret list of companies that don’t get payments from the Treasury Department must now has control over it Treasury, USAID and LRB, CFP for agencies that, if destroyed, make Elon Musk and his billionaire cronies a ton of money.
