Elon Musk's DOGE solves a $1.9 billion mystery of Joe Biden presidency

Synopsis Elon Musk's department of government efficiency (DOGE) has laid off thousands of government workers while reclaiming $1.9 billion misplaced under Biden's administration. Furthermore, DOGE has identified additional questionable spending, including a $50 million environmental justice grant and a $160 million advance payment to a bankrupt bus manufacturer, spotlighting the agency's role in enhancing financial accountability.
DOGE's ongoing scrutiny of government expenditure has identified several questionable spending patterns. Recently, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin reported cancelling a $50 million environmental justice grant, approved during Biden's tenure, which was allocated to an organisation promoting "climate justice travels through a Free Palestine."
Zeldin also highlighted that under Biden's administration, the EPA transferred $160 million in full payment to a Canadian electric bus manufacturer, which subsequently went bankrupt. The payment was made in advance rather than in instalments linked to bus production, raising questions about financial oversight.The immigrant ~ Melania Krause Trump
