The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once.
@elonmusk - Elon Musk
Absolutely. The federal government has squandered your hard-earned tax money. It’s an outrage.

The corrupt politicians “protesting” outside the USAID building are the ones getting money from USAID. That’s why they’re there – they want your stolen tax dollars!

Say it louder 🔊🔊🔊 “If you find yourself angry that an unelected billionaire is getting paid $0 to audit unelected bureaucrats who spend billions of your tax dollars, you might just be a moron.” Elon Musk and DOGE are saving America from bankruptcy. They’re stopping the fraud https://t.co/AmXkjmrioX

Well, maybe this explains why the Democrats don’t want @DOGE to investigate. Biggest fraud operation in human history!
@WallStreetApes - Wall Street Apes
Democrats are fighting so hard against DOGE because Elon Musk’s DOGE audits are making the American People furious “Like is there any part of our government, any branch of our government that has not been defrauding the American people because we're just barely getting started with this audit. I'm already saying the answer is no. There is no portion or part of our government that has not been robbing the American people blind this entire time.” “All while we can barely afford to live living paycheck to paycheck. People are still freezing in wor Western North Carolina in tents” “I want arrests, name names who did this, start naming them.” “I am 110% convinced at this point that the entirety of our national debt, all 36 trillion with a T are fraud, abuse and waste”

Get ready — @DOGE is forklifting the fraud out of Washington. @elonmusk and ‘Big Balls” found millions of your tax dollars going towards recycling in Kosovo and Egypt, a women empowerment hub, voter confidence in Libera, voter turnout in India, and “social cohesion” in Mali. The left and the media aren’t taking any of the waste-slashing well. The media’s not defending the taxpayers — they’re defending our bloated government and German censors instead.

How would you feel if someone who worked for you had stolen $4,700 from you. That would smart. How about $47,000? Fury. $4,700,000? If you had that much cash, maybe it wipes out your entire family savings and you may never recover in your lifetime. Bigger? $4,700,000,000. How about that? over 4 billion dollars. $4,700,000,000,000. That's 4.7 trillion dollars. It isn't some made up number in a movie. It's an incredible amount of money, comprised of all of our tax dollars. Money we worked hard to earn, and paid in taxes that maybe put a big strain on our budgets that year. And some individuals in the government thought they could just burn it. Just throw it in the trash. That's what they thought of the results of our hard work. Thank God for @DOGE.

DOGE has uncovered $5 TRILLION dollars in UNTRACEABLE payments. There's no records of where it went. Just a gigantic whole in the budget that they were covering up. A $5 TRILLION dollar blank check. DOGE also uncovered that Social Security sent out $72 BILLION in bad checks. In other words, FRAUD. The head of the Social Security administration has quickly resigned to avoid being fired when she was called in to be canned. Folks, they have been stealing TRILLIONS of our taxpayer dollars for DECADES, and now it's all being exposed. This is why they're doing everything possible to shut Elon and Trump down. The gig is up. Arrests are imminent. Why would ANYONE be against this?

🚨 Your tax dollars have been set on fire by the government—and it’s much worse than you think. Jesse Watters just sat down with Elon Musk and the DOGE team to pull back the curtain. What they uncovered will leave you speechless. And yes, you finally get to meet Big Balls. His backstory did not disappoint. 🧵 THREAD

It kicked off with a bombshell. Elon Musk and his DOGE team had uncovered one of the most outrageous COVID-era scams inside the Department of Education. There was a $4 billion fund sitting there—and no one had to provide a receipt to use it. As one DOGE staffer explained, “There was a four billion-dollar COVID fund in the Department of Education. There was no receipt required so people could just draw down on it.” Naturally, the money went everywhere it shouldn’t have. “When people looked into it—they found that money was being used to rent out Caesars Palace for parties, rent out stadiums, et cetera.” To stop the abuse, DOGE made one change. “The one change that DOGE made with the Department of Education, is we had the simple requirement that if you draw down money you must first upload a receipt.” That’s it. Upload a receipt. “That was the only change made—you must upload your receipt—and upon doing so nobody drew down money anymore.” The grift dried up overnight.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
But that was just the beginning. Next up: the United States Institute of Peace—a government agency with “peace” in the name that turned out to be anything but. “We went into the agency and found they had loaded guns inside of their headquarters. Institute for Peace,” a DOGE staffer said. Musk put it bluntly: “Any organizational name is going to kind of be the opposite of the title.” And according to the team, that proved to be true. “It was by far the least peaceful agency we’ve worked with, ironically.” But the deeper they looked, the worse it got. “Additionally we found they were spending money on things like private jets and they even had a $130,000-dollar contract with a former member of the Taliban. This is real. We don’t encounter that in most agencies.” Guns. Jets. Taliban contracts. All tucked under a banner of “peace.”

@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
But the Institute of Peace saga went deeper. Just when you thought it couldn’t get more surreal—the cover-up began. DOGE had barely walked through the doors before the agency started deleting records. “Just a few hours we got into their headquarters we found their chief accountant had actually deleted over a terabyte of accounting records from several years.” The obvious question came up: why? “You would have to ask the question, well why would somebody do that? The DOGE team was fortunately able to recover that data with the help of a few great employees at the Institute of Peace.” Once they had the files back, the full picture emerged. “They received $55 million a year from Congress and on the money that went unspent, instead of returning that to Congress, they would sweep it into a private bank account which has no congressional oversight and that’s what they would use to fund events at their headquarters and the private jets.” For the DOGE team, this wasn’t just an example of government waste—it was something far worse. “I think it’s a great example because most Americans don’t know what’s going on at a lot of these smaller agencies and this is—I think this is the most extreme case of some of the wasteful spending we are finding.”
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
Then came something so ridiculous it sounded like satire. The Small Business Administration had sent out over $300 million in loans… to people who were already dead. And that’s not even the wildest part. A DOGE staffer detailed: “Is the Small Business Administration giving loans to dead people, people over the age of 120? The answer was yes and it was around $330 million in total.” Musk followed up with the part that shocked everyone at the table. “And also people with birthdays in the future.” “Like, the birthdate I think in one case was like—we’re talking about your great grandchildren. With the birthdate, like, of 2165.” “More than a century from now was the birth date.” “Because your birthday is in the future, the far future. Not like next year. This is either fraudulent or we have your birthday wrong.” Billions in taxpayer money—and no one bothered to check the dates.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel...or mine in this case. One of the most bizarre symbols of government inefficiency is a limestone mine in Pennsylvania—where retirement paperwork is still handled the old-fashioned way: on paper. Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb and now part of DOGE, decided to see it for himself. “I had a chance to go to the mine and so I took a golf cart through security down into the side of the mountain and I entered this whole space of caverns and roads. And we get to a metal door and I open it up and there in front of me is a sea of filing cabinets from the 1960s.” He painted the scene: “I’m walking around, it’s super chilly and smells like paper. I realize, for a mine, it’s a great mine. It’s secure, it’s well-lit. Temperature controlled——The question we why are we still using paper in 2025?” He even brought along replica folders to show just how outdated the system is. “I would rather do my taxes in the dark, than have to go through this.” But this story had a win. “What we are doing is we are bringing some process online with modern software. I’m excited to share that as of tonight we have 25 retirees going through an entirely online retirement process in the government for the very first time.”

And finally, we got to meet the legend himself: Big Balls. For months, he was a mysterious figure inside the DOGE operation—known only by his nickname. Then Jesse Watters asked, “Who’s Big Balls?” A voice from across the table answered without hesitation: “That’s me.” Musk leaned in: “That should be obvious.” The nickname, it turns out, started as a joke on LinkedIn. He wanted to stand out in a sea of suits who played it safe. He didn’t expect anyone to notice. They noticed. But there’s more to Big Balls than a meme. He plays a key role in the team, hunting down fraud buried in federal payment systems. “I’m working on some payment computer stuff,” he said. “We started looking into the payment computers to root out fraud and waste.” And what they found was staggering. In many cases, you could pull up a line item for $20 million—and find no record of where it went. No trail. No explanation. Just holes in the system. That’s what DOGE is trying to fix. And Big Balls is leading the charge.

🚨 China is blaming the U.S. for the Covid outbreak. But NIH Director Dr. Bhattacharya says they’ve already been caught red-handed. And now he’s dropping a bombshell. In the wake of the lab-leak confirmation, he’s vowing to release something that could change everything. 🧵 THREAD
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
📍Remember to bookmark this thread. The truth is finally coming to the surface after years of secrecy.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
So what’s the backstory here? As more evidence points to a lab leak in Wuhan, China is now trying to flip the script—blaming the United States for the origins of COVID-19. In a lengthy government paper, Chinese officials claim the virus may have been spreading in the U.S. before it was ever detected. They accuse Washington of ducking responsibility and demand accountability. “The US should cease from shifting blame and evading responsibility, stop finding external excuses for its internal malaise, and genuinely reflect on and overhaul its public health policies,” the paper states. “The US cannot continue to turn a deaf ear to the numerous questions over its conduct.” But this response didn’t come out of nowhere. It followed a fearless move by the Trump administration. They updated the official government website on Covid—not to double down on old narratives, but to expose the truth. The revamped site walks through the case for a lab origin: how Fauci pushed the natural spillover theory, how Biden later shielded him, and how early pandemic policies like masking and distancing were rolled out.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya isn’t letting China get away with it. He spoke to Laura Ingraham and pushed back hard on their attempt to blame the U.S. “It’s shocking, Laura. I guess, what can you do?” he said. Then he laid out the facts. “What happened was that the Chinese lab in Wuhan conducted some mad science experiments.” “Unfortunately, partly funded by the American government. In fact, by the agency that I can now currently lead. That experiment went astray. It leaked and caused the havoc that we faced for years.” “For China to now turn around and say well, the U.S. is to blame—well, I mean, it’s ridiculous, it’s absolutely ridiculous.” He unleashed the truth: “The Chinese were responsible for allowing these experiments to happen in a low security lab. It leaked. They covered it up. And that’s just a fact.”

@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
But that’s not where it ends. In a moment that could change everything, Bhattacharya promised something Americans have waited years to hear: full transparency. “That’s exactly what I’m doing at the NIH,” he said. “I have gotten congressional subpoenas for all of the documents at the NIH that are related to Covid-19.” “I’m complying with every single one.” Every document. Every memo. Every internal conversation from before and during the pandemic—he says it’s all being turned over. “We are going to have, at least from the American side, all the things that we knew and were talking about—the U.S. Government was talking about at the time and in the years running up to the pandemic.” But this only works if both sides come clean. And China won’t. “The problem is that the Chinese government won’t give those same things to us,” he explained. “For instance, the NIH tried to get the lab notebooks from the Wuhan experimenters and they wouldn’t share that lab notebook with us.” So while Bhattacharya is opening the vault, China is locking theirs tighter than ever.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
And finally, he ended with a warning. Transparency is just the first step. What matters most is what we do with what we find. If we don’t learn lessons from our mistakes, then what was the point of all of this? “What we need to do actually, and this is, again, something President Trump is going to deliver and is delivering, that we have to never again act in the ways that we did in the run-up to the pandemic.” He pointed straight at the risky experiments that triggered this crisis. “In ways that put all of the world in danger of causing a pandemic by doing mad science experiments.” That’s the line he’s drawing—not just for the history books, but to stop the next global disaster before it starts.
