Elon Musk blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for lying after the Democrat repeated baseless lies about DOGE and President Trump’s America First Agenda. In his epic takedown, Musk implied that Schumer may be worried about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) because he’s worried about his past corrupt actions.
For context, in one of his first executive orders, President Donald Trump established DOGE to eliminate wasteful spending and fraud within the federal government. While DOGE has made several high-profile fraud busts, Democrats have complained constantly about it during the opening months of Trump’s presidency.
Such was shown in Schumer’s initial post to X on April 7, 2025, where he blamed the Republicans for a brief downturn in the market and repeated tired Democrat lies. He said, “Trump has unleashed chaos on America —His tariffs hit families with largest tax hike in more than 50 years —DOGE is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid —The market is having its worst 3 days since COVID. And Congressional Republicans are going along with it all so they can cut taxes for billionaires.”
Firing back with a harsh rebuke, the Tesla and SpaceX founder demolished the deep-state Democrat. Musk replied, “Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it? 
…”
In the comments under Musk’s post, conservatives rallied to counter Schumer’s lies. One comment read, “Chuck Schumer’s annual salary: $193,400. His estimated net worth: $85 MILLION. Paging @DOGE.” Another user said, “Follow the money. Chuck Schumer needs to release his tax returns.”
Building on that point, other users objected to the details of Schumer’s post. One such comment read, “‘His tariffs hit families with largest tax hike in more than 50 years.” Does anyone know what he’s blathering on about? Milk has gone down. Eggs have gone down. I was able to afford a GIANT pork shoulder for the first time in two years. ($14 for 8 lbs!!).”
Rounding out the comments, some accounts speculated about Chuck Schumer’s corruption. One of the replies read, “Lying Chuck Schumer is 100% involved in the racket. As Elon Musk says, it’s the fraudsters who complain the loudest.”

Watch another Schumer freak out here:
As we reported, Chuck Schumer has made a series of defamatory statements about DOGE. He said, “There is wasteful spending in government that needs to be cut… Of course, there’s some wasteful spending, but you don’t use a meat ax and cut everything. We need to look at each program.”
Still not done with his complaints, he whined, “We need to go through Congress and see what’s wasteful and move to eliminate it, and what’s very not wasteful but very much needed. I’ll give you one example. They went after community health centers in Medicaid.”
Concluding his remarks, the Democrat leader said, “They’re among the most efficient producers of health care we have yet. They tried to eliminate them. It makes no sense. They’re just using a meat ax and cutting everything, including many things that American families need, want, and approve of.
