Elon Musk and his DOGE team give a behind-the-scenes look at their mission to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government. What they’ve uncovered is astonishing—and it could mark the most sweeping government reform effort since the American Revolution.
As one DOGE team member said, “The ship of America will sink unless this exercise is successful.”
Elon Musk’s DOGE Mission: Government Reformation or Smoke and Mirrors?
Overview:
The Fox News exclusive provides a candid and, at times, startling behind-the-scenes look into Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative — an effort to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse within the U.S. federal government. Backed by tech minds, financial experts, and Elon Musk himself, the DOGE team is taking a private-sector lens to public-sector dysfunction.
Relevance to a Christian Worldview:
-
Accountability and Stewardship – Scripture warns against waste and dishonest gain. Proverbs 11:1 reminds us: “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord.” The DOGE team’s mission to bring integrity to spending aligns with this principle.
-
Justice and Protection of the Vulnerable – By addressing fraudulent activity that robs seniors, taxpayers, and legitimate benefit recipients, DOGE’s work echoes Micah 6:8: “Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.”
-
The Propaganda Problem – Musk rightly points out the spiritual battle of truth vs. deception. His observation about the far-left media feeding hatred reflects Ephesians 5:11: “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”
Constitutional Worldview Alignment:
-
Limited Government—DOGE embodies Jeffersonian ideals of a government that serves the people efficiently and transparently. Article I, Section 9 restricts federal spending without legal appropriation, a principle DOGE seems determined to uphold.
-
Checks and Balances—Musk’s team has exposed gaps in oversight and execution. Their work promotes the Founders’ vision of restrained power, transparency, and fiscal responsibility.

Executive Leadership—President Trump’s support for DOGE aligns with the executive branch’s constitutional role to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, Section 3).
Final Thoughts:
Elon Musk’s DOGE mission is disruptive, tech-driven, and controversial—but it may also be one of the most patriotic private-public collaborations in modern U.S. history. While not explicitly faith-based, the initiative’s outcomes—justice, integrity, efficiency, and protection of the vulnerable—align with Biblical and Constitutional ethics.
Christians must stay vigilant:
Support efforts that reflect truth and justice, but test all things (1 Thess. 5:21). If the DOGE team is sincere and its mission is righteous, then it deserves our prayers, scrutiny, and support.

Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Uncovered by DOGE
The DOGE team’s mission is not based on theory—they’re uncovering shocking, real-world examples of how mismanagement and outdated systems are hemorrhaging taxpayer money. Here are just a few concrete examples of waste and fraud they have already exposed:
-
$830 Million for a Simple Survey.
A 10-question “Do you like the national park?” survey—something that could be done via SurveyMonkey for $10,000—was billed to the government for nearly $1 billion. The survey’s data went unused. -
The Retirement Mine.
A massive limestone cave in Pennsylvania houses 22,000 filing cabinets for federal employee retirement processing—still entirely paper-based since the 1950s. Retirement calculations can take six to nine months, often with errors. -
15 Million Social Security Numbers for Deceased People.
Government records show millions of people marked alive who are over 120 years old, leaving open the door for rampant identity fraud and illegal benefit claims. -
Small Business Loans to Babies.
Over $300 million in Small Business Administration loans were issued to recipients under age 11—including a 9-month-old baby. The DOGE team traced these to fraudulent uses of newborns’ stolen Social Security numbers. -
Social Security Fraud via Call Centers.
A staggering 40% of daily Social Security phone calls come from fraud centers trying to redirect benefits by changing bank deposit info fraudulently. -
700 Non-Communicating IT Systems at NIH.
The National Institutes of Health has 700 incompatible software systems across 27 departments—crippling data collaboration and wasting research dollars. -
One Federal Bank Account, No Verification.
The Treasury had only one account from which all federal money was dispersed—$800 billion at one point—with no verification of where the funds were going. Until recently, agencies could order payments without providing justification, coding, or contact information. -
IRS Staff Overhead.
The IRS employs 1,400 staff just to issue laptops and phones—yet that function could serve the entire IRS once per month per person, making the current headcount excessive and wasteful. -
4.6 Million Federal Credit Cards.
The government issued nearly twice as many credit cards as it has employees. Many were untracked, and usage was unclear. DOGE has already helped reduce that number by half.
These findings reinforce the scale of the issue—and the moral, fiscal, and constitutional imperative to address it. As one DOGE team member said, “The ship of America will sink unless this exercise is successful.”
