Musk’s Operatives Rake in Six-Figure Salaries While Slashing Government Jobs

What Happened: Elon Musk’s operatives are drawing large taxpayer-funded salaries while gutting agencies and purges across federal agencies. Some employees earn up to $195,200 annually. Despite Musk’s earlier claims that his unvetted operatives’ work was unpaid, funding has surged to $40 million while transparency remains nonexistent.

Why It Matters: Trump and Musk are justifying mass government layoffs under the guise of “efficiency” while paying their unvetted operatives top-dollar salaries. This double standard highlights cronyism, conflicts of interest, and Musk’s unchecked power over the federal government.
