Elon Musk joined Lara Trump on her show “My View” last Saturday night on FOX News.
During their conversation, Elon revealed that the DOGE Team found 100,000 active federal employees, who also collected unemployment insurance benefits, while they were still at work.
Collecting insurance benefits while still working is considered unemployment insurance fraud. Many states classify unemployment fraud as a misdemeanor or felony.
Jail time is a significant risk and can range from several months to several years.
Elon Musk says 100,000 government employees have committed this dishonest and fraudulent act.
Elon Musk: We’ve actually found there’s a lot of people who are federal government employees. They’re active employees who nonetheless applied for and have received unemployment insurance. While they’re federal employees? Yes. Wow. And this appears to be at least 100,000 people.
