Now the Dept. of Government Efficiency, spearheaded by zillionaire Elon Musk, has discovered a scheme to spend $21 million for “Voter Turnout in India” and another $29 million for “Strengthening the Political Landscape in Bangla Desh” (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/elon-musks-doge-team-uncovers-21-million-taxpayer/).
