Elon Musk on Sunday common The fact that the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) has chosen its recent goal: legislators who are worth dozens or hundreds of millions of dollars despite modest public salary.
According to Upper Izber’s, the Senators and Chamber of Legislators currently earn 174,000 USD per year, while the Senate leaders earn $ 193,400 per year website. This salary would not explain how some legislators are now worth tens of millions, even after decades in the chamber. People like the former Marshal of the House of Nancy Pelosia are worth hundreds of millions.
Musk told the audience in Wisconsin that he would look at the flood of wealth after the participant asked him if Doge discovered the evidence of money sent by the American Agency for International Development (USAID) to Democrats at Congress.
“They will be [the government] Send money abroad to one non -governmental organization [non-governmental organization]Then they will go through a few of them, and then I am very convinced that a few of this money returns to the United States and lands in his pockets [lawmakers]Musk said. “But this is a circular route. It does not go directly, but let’s say that there are many strangely wealthy members of the congress, in which I try to connect the dots:” How are rich? “
“How do they receive $ 20 million if they earn $ 200,000 a year?” Musk continued. “Nobody can explain it. We will try to figure it out and definitely refrain from it.”
The two richest members of the Congress are Pelosia and the Republican Senator Rick Scott. Pelosia is worth about $ 250 million, According to New York PostAnd Scott is worth about $ 550 million.
Scott’s richness is mainly due to co -founders of HCA Healthcare and Solantic healthcare companies, which are run by hospitals and urgent care clinics throughout their entire state. His work with companies took place before joining the Senate.
Pelosia’s fortune can be attributed above all to the actions that her husband, Venture Capital, has invested in the main corporations, including Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Netflix.
In July last year, double -sided legislation was issued from the Senate of the Internal Security Committee and government matters in order to prohibit the ownership of shares and trade for sitting members of the Congress, but it did not go further, in accordance with Newsweek.
