More great news just dropped for those watching the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) tear through government waste. Exposing shocking examples of waste, the head of DOGE, Elon Musk, dropped bombshell revelations on Fox News, such as cases when the National Park Service (NPS) paid $1 billion for a simple survey that could have been built for $10,000 and when $2 billion was given to Democrat Stacey Abrams’s NGO.
For context, President Donald Trump established DOGE to end the rampant fraud, waste, and financial abuse that is endemic in the federal government. The President instructed Elon Musk, the head of the department, to fight corruption within federal agencies and to publish his findings.
Initially, the major fraud was exposed in a Fox News segment, “Behind the Scenes: Musk and Staffers Talk DOGE Work and Goals, ” hosted by Bret Baier on March 26, 2025. Musk blasted the absurd waste of federal funds, saying, “The sheer amount of waste in fraud in the government is astonishing. It’s mind-blowing. We routinely encounter wastes of a billion dollars or more casually.”
Citing a specific example where NPS wasted over $1 billion on a pointless survey, the genius tech founder hammered home his point. Musk added, “For example, the simple survey that was literally 10 questions survey that you could do with Survey Monkey, about $10,000 was the government was being charged almost a billion dollars for that, for just a survey, a billion dollars for for a simple online survey, do you like the National Park? And then there appears to be no feedback loop for what will be done with that survey, so the server would just go into nothing.”
Conservatives were outraged by the waste Musk exposed. Among those who sounded off was Charlie Kirk, a conservative media figure who co-founded Turning Point USA, who posted a clip of the segment and added his opinion on the scandal. He said, “Emphasis on the fact that our federal government CASUALLY wastes your money—until now. Thank you, @DOGE.”
In the comments under Kirk’s post, users rallied to support DOGE’s mission to end federal fraud and abuse. One of the comments said, “So frustrating just thinking about all the money for the last few decades have been wasted. Would America even be in debt? Hopefully Trump and Elon can get us back on track financially as a country.”

In another clip from the same FNC segment, Musk exposed the vast funds given to Democratic NGOs, such as when Stacey Abrams revised $2 billion in federal funds. The X CEO said, “The fraudsters, like the $2 billion to Stacey Abrams’ NGO, that basically doesn’t exist and suddenly gets $2 billion awarded from the federal government. Why? There are MANY such cases like that…The [people] who complain the loudest and…with the most amount of fake righteous indignation. [They are] the fraudsters.”
