[Music] I mean frankly I can't believe I'm here doing this it's kind of bizarre it it is worse than I expected but on the plus side that means there's more opportunity for improvement so look if you look on the bright side um there's there's actually a lot of opportunity for improvement uh in federal government expenditures uh because it's so bad um if it if it was a well-run ship it would be very difficult to improve so like but but you so so now it's like people say well how how will you figure out how to
save money in the federal government well it's like being in a room room where the the walls the roof and the flooor are all Targets Elon Musk exposes The Staggering levels of waste and fraud within the US government and how fixing it could save taxpayers over a trillion dollars so most of what do is finding you don't need to be Sherlock Homes okay it's very obvious B basic stuff so in in every government Department I say every because we've not yet found a single exception um there are far too many software licenses um and and
media subscriptions meaning many more uh software licenses and media subscriptions than there are humans in the department we found entire uh situations of of software licenses or media sub subscriptions where there were zero logins so it had and yet we were paying for it yes so the government was paying for thousands of licenses of software uh or media subscriptions and no one had ever logged in even once uh we found that there are twice as many credit cards as there are humans could that's just and I still don't have a good explanation for why this
is the case and these are $10,000 limit cards so it's a lot of money if you say look what's the waste to fraud ratio uh in my my opinion it's it's like 80% waste 20% fraud but but but but you do have these sort of gray areas yeah example example would be so uh we saw a lot of payments uh going out of Treasury that had no U payment code and no explanation for the payment and then we we we're tra we're trying to figure out what that payment is and we'd see that okay that
contract was supposed to be shut off uh but but someone forgot to shut off that that contract and so the company kept getting money wow now is that waste or fraud one of the biggest uh scamed for holes we've uncovered which is really crazy is uh is that is that the government can give money to a so-called nonprofit uh with with very few controls and then that not and there's no auditing subsequently of that nonprofit so there's no so this is way with the you know 1.9 billion to Stacy ABS who's who's that they then
give themselves extremely lavished like insane salaries uh expense everything to the to the nonprofit um you know buy Jets and homes and all sorts of things this is happening at scale it's not just one or two we're seeing this everywhere well the government is run by computers so you've got um essentially several hundred computers that effectively run the government yeah so when somebody like even when the president issues an executive order that's going to go through a whole bunch of people until ultimately it is implemented at a computer somewhere and if you want to know
what what the situation is with the accounting and you're trying to reconcile accounting and get rid of waste and fraud you must be able to analyze the computer databases otherwise you can't figure it out um because all you're doing is asking a human who will then ask another human ask another human and finally usually ask some contractor who will ask another contractor to do a query on the computer wow that's how it actually works so it's many layers deep um so the only way to reconcile the databases and get rid of waste and fraud is
to um to actually look at the computers and see what's going on that's what I when I sort of cryptically referred to reprogramming The Matrix you have to understand what's going at the computers you have to reconcile the computer databases uh in order to identify the waste and fraud I mean in order for money to go to a bank account it it's it's not like we're sending truckloads of cash all over the place is we're it's a we're wiring money right we're sending money through the a system or through the Swift system so in order
for money to flow it's going to flow electronically so that's that's what you need to look at you need to look at the the the actual electronic money flows reasonably confident that we'll be able to get a trillion dollars of waste and fraud out uh and that that meaning that it will have we'll have a net Savings in fi 26 which starts in October obviously um of of a trillion dollars wow provided we allowed to we're allowed to continue and and and our progress is not impeded if those was ineffective if we were not actually
getting rid of a bunch of wasting fraud and a bunch of that fraud uh I mean the fraud we're seeing is over overwhelmingly on the on the left mhm I mean there it's not zero on the right but uh these NOS are almost all leftwing NOS that are being funded for example yeah um so they they hate me because doge is being effective um and do is getting rid of a lot of uh waste and for that they were that people on the left were taking advantage of that that's that's that's what it comes out
to and and the the the single biggest thing that they're that they're worried about is that um doge is is going to turn off bruland payments of entitlements uh I mean everything from Social Security Medicare uh you know unemployment disability uh small business administration loans turn them off to uh illegals this is the Crux of the matter y okay this is this is the this is the thing that why why they really hit my guts and want me to die I think across the country it's it's in the it's wellth of 100 billion maybe 200
billion um so uh by by using entitlements fraud the Democrats have been able to attract and retain vast numbers of illegal immigrants and basically bring in I don't know 10 20 million uh people who are beholden to the Democrats for government handouts and will vote overwhelmingly Democrat as has been demonstrated in California but musk doesn't stop there he dives into the future of AI and automation predicting that AI will surpass human intelligence in a decade 90% of miles driven will be autonomous within 10 years billions of robots will make goods and services nearly free he
warns that whoever controls AI chip manufacturing will dominate the future and that the battle between America and China over AI Supremacy is already underway is musk right will his war on waste shake up Washington or make him more enemies than ever watch now to find out in 10 years probably AI could do anything better than a human can cognitively probably almost I think 10 10 years based on the current rate of improvement AI will be smarter than the smartest human yeah yeah uh there will also be a massive number of robots uh in 10 years
probably 90% of miles driven will be uh autonomous in 5 years probably 50% of all miles driven will be autonomous Goods goods and services will become it's close to free so it's not as though people will be wanting into in terms of goods and services well you have I don't know pull it tens of billions of robots uh that that they will they will make you anything or provide any service you want um for basically next to nothing um it's it's not that people will be uh will have a lower standard of living they'll have
actually a much higher standard of living the the challenge will be uh fulfillment how do you derive fulfillment and meaning in life for the next few years I think America is likely to win uh then it will be a function of who controls the AI chip uh fabrication the factories that make the AI chips who controls them if they are control if more of them are controlled by China then China will win uh in the in the distant future 100 or thousand years ago if SpaceX got humans to Mars that's what they would remember me
before you know there's been a tremendous amount of of waste and forward in the in the government um you know when you're part of the government you you you you saw a lot of that and and it's and there there's been uh you know if you look at the Inspector General reports and the government accountability office um th there have been many audits that have pointed out uh that there's tremendous amount of waste and for in the government in fact there was a report uh issued by by the ga GAO the government accountability office um
last year so during during the Biden Administration which estimated the the federal government fraud to be uh uh half a trillion dollars so just to be clear that's that's not a trump Administration thing that's a Biden Administration thing so what we're trying to do is uh get that number down to a much smaller uh figure um save money for the American taxpayer uh stop money being spent on things that are that I think very few taxpayers would agree make sense um and uh the presidents are gone through a long list of of of absurd things
right well we just basically uh follow the money uh you know we look at the president's executive orders um and and we also just follow the money so we started looking closely at usid because they were completely violating the president's executive orders uh to suspend uh foreign foreign aid you know what what's called forign aid but in our view is a lot of corruption um so what we saw there is just a trous amount of money being sent uh to uh non-governmental organizations but actually it's a this by the way is I think one of
the biggest sources of fraud in the world is government funded non-governmental organizations this this is a gigantic fraud loophole uh where the government can give money to um an NGO uh and then that that there are no controls over that NGO so they've given billions of dollars in fact we estimate tens of billions of dollars to NOS that that are essentially scams when people criticize say what doge is doing we say well which part specifically because we put all of the actions of of the Doge team on the doe.gov website um and on the Doge
handle on X so we post the receipts so it's like this this action has been taken this action has been taken so when when we get criticism we say like of what of what uh which which line do you disagree with like which which cut which cut which cost saving do you disagree with and then people usually can't think of any no uh you know so it's transparent line by line it's transparent line by line which is quite remarkable right and so and and then with respect to U the treasury for example um we we
the the two main recommendations we uh suggested which have now been implemented was that any payments going out of the treasury um especially the treasury's main payment computer which is called Pam um uh I think it's like payments account manager or something like that but it's like almost 5 trillion a year so about a billion an hour um that the payments uh be coded with the Congressional appropriation and that there be an explanation for the payment very basic stuff um and just doing that we estimate we'll save $100 billion a year we're really uh trying
to be uh sort of will refer to ourselves as as Tech tech support you know we're really U helping the uh Department uh get a handle on things because what actually happens here is you've got this this sort of vast Federal bureaucracy and then you've got this a very thin layer on top of the of the politically appointed officials um and what tends to happen is that the bureaucracy frankly is in control um and they largely ignore the the politically appoint people the president is the elected representative of the people and if the president cannot
get things implemented as a reflection of the world of the people then what we have is not a democracy we have a bureaucracy we have rule of the bureau not rule of the people and that's what we're trying to defeat here is uh the bureaucracy and have rule of the people um you know the uh and as you mentioned the uh the bureaucracy is overwhelmingly uh Democrat so uh Washington DC was 92 a half% I believe voted for kamla so this overwhelmingly uh a Dem a de blue situation I mean frankly I can't believe I'm
here doing this it's kind of bizarre but I I kind of think that the you we've got this enormous federal budget deficit and it's a it's a true trillion dollar deficit it keeps growing um our interest payments are higher than our defense department budget that's that's I think was the real wakeup call for me was looking at seeing that the interest payments on national debt exceeded the defense department budget and that was only growing over time which meant if if we didn't do something about this uh then there won't be any money for anything we'll
just be servicing debt I'm just here trying to make uh government more efficient uh eliminate waste and fraud and so far we're making good progress actually so our uh savings at this point exceed uh $4 billion a day mhm so it's Proby significant I mean I think we can sort of look at this as a complaint minimization optimization so so basically if the government sends money out to whether it's a waste flow or for forland nobody complains if they receive money but but they they do complain if they don't receive money and the people that
complain the loudest are the ones receiving the the fraudulent money I mean just like so the goal the goal here is let's not have America go bankrupt uh with waste and fraud um so that's what I'm here for and uh we're making good progress well we're we're just getting things done as opposed to writing a report like say reports don't mean anything you just you got to actually take action yes um so the I mean the waste ort in in entitlement spending you know which is all of the which is most the federal spending is
entitlements um so that that's that's like the big one to eliminate is that's the sort of half trillion maybe 6 700 billion a year so this is why the Democrats are so upset about the situation because they're losing you know if we turn off this gigantic money magnet uh for illegal immigrants then they will leave and they'll lose voters without the president support we couldn't we couldn't make any progress here um but um yeah I mean where you'll see the biggest outcry is from the the the Democrats who are um they don't want the waste
and for to be turned off because it is uh a gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants and have them stay in the country um I mean you see some of the crazy stuff like where money from FEMA you know which meant FEMA is an agency that's meant to take care of Americans in distress um and a bunch of their money was being sent to pay for luxury hotels in New York for illegal immigrants and and that was happening even after the president was elected and even after he signed an executive order saying that needs to
stop so we actually made sure that that money did stop going because it's obviously it's outrageous that American taxpayer money is spent on luxury hotels for legals but you have to say like why was that being done if you enjoyed today's video on inner Vision don't forget to give it a thumbs up and share your thoughts in the comments below
