‘A Piece Of The Action’: Elon Musk ‘Starting To Think’ Chuck Schumer Is Getting Rich Through Government Fraud
'But no, that couldn't possibly be the reason, could it?'

Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s leader of DOGE, is now going to war with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, openly speculating the New York Democrat could be the recipient of “a piece of the action” through government fraud.
It started Monday evening, as Schumer launched an online attack in which he alleged the president “has unleashed chaos” on the nation:
Trump has unleashed chaos on America
—His tariffs hit families with largest tax hike in more than 50 years
—DOGE is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
—The market is having its worst 3 days since COVIDAnd Congressional Republicans are going along with it all so they can cut taxes for billionaires.
Early Tuesday, Musk responded by saying: “Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it? …”
Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it? 🤔 … https://t.co/VWQeFqMnii

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Many Americans have wondered recently how some members of Congress can be worth many millions of dollars on an annual salary of less than $200,000 per year.

The current annual salary for a U.S. senator – as well as members of the U.S. House of Representatives – is $174,000, more than double the median household income which currently stands at $82,207, according to MotioResearch.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Musk previously wondered in March: “A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress, where I just can’t, I’m trying to connect the dots of how they became rich.”

“How’d they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that. We’re gonna try to figure it out, and certainly stop it from happening.”
Elon Musk announced at a Wisconsin town hall that his team at DOGE will investigate congressional wealth accumulation, questioning how politicians amass multimillion-dollar fortunes on $200,000 salaries.

The Daily Mail reported: “Musk has specifically taken aim at Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren, whose cumulative net worth is said to total an estimated $439 million in a post shared to Musk’s X account.”
Meanwhile, Trump on Tuesday continued to promote his success with tariffs, indicating on Truth Social: “I just had a great call with the Acting President of South Korea.
“We talked about their tremendous and unsustainable Surplus, Tariffs, Shipbuilding, large scale purchase of U.S. LNG, their joint venture in an Alaska Pipeline, and payment for the big time Military Protection we provide to South Korea.

“They began these Military payments during my first term, Billions of Dollars, but Sleepy Joe Biden, for reasons unknown, terminated the deal. That was a shocker to all! In any event, we have the confines and probability of a great DEAL for both countries.
“Their top TEAM is on a plane heading to the U.S., and things are looking good. We are likewise dealing with many other countries, all of whom want to make a deal with the United States. Like with South Korea, we are bringing up other subjects that are not covered by Trade and Tariffs, and getting them negotiated also.
“‘ONE STOP SHOPPING’ is a beautiful and efficient process!!! China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started. We are waiting for their call. It will happen! GOD BLESS THE USA.”
