On Monday we reported on what Elon Musk termed 14 "magic money" computers spread out at various agencies that he said were issuing payments out of thin air. He said most of them were in the Treasury, but there were some in other agencies as well, such as Health and Human Services, one at the State Department, and one at the Department of Defense.
Musk added that his goal is to save $1 trillion of waste and fraud by fiscal year 2026. Musk went on to describe instances where there were software licenses and media subscriptions that outnumbered employees in a department. Musk also stated that DOGE has found "twice as many government credit cards as there are humans." //
Pulte then explained he was in "second headquarter[s] at Freddie Mac," and again no one appeared to be there -- the desks were "clean," he said. He went to a cafeteria where the staff was working five days a week, but the cafeteria was empty because the workers weren't there five days a week. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Pulte told Laura Ingraham that at Fannie Mae there were about 2,900 people who were supposed to work in the building, but that it turns out only about 49 were showing up full-time. He said on average that was the highest number they found. He said Freddie Mac had a similar problem and they were going to fix it. So what's happening with all those workers who aren't showing up? Are they working from home or are they not even needed?
