Elon Musk, key adviser to President Donald Trump, has accused US-funded NGOs of being a “nightmare” that enables corrupt practices and regime change. Musk, who heads the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claims that many NGOs receive billions of dollars with little to no oversight.
In a podcast interview with Joe Rogan, Musk described how some NGOs are set up with minimal requirements, allowing individuals to “cash out” and become wealthy through non-profit organizations. He pointed to billionaire George Soros as an example of someone who has effectively used this system to leverage small donations into billion-dollar NGOs.
Musk also alleged that the US government is losing $2 trillion annually due to wasteful spending on NGOs and failing audits. He claimed that payments made through a main computer, with no payment categorization code or description, can be “untraceable blank checks” that enable corrupt practices.
The Trump administration’s allegations come as many NGOs that were funded during previous administrations continue to operate. Musk’s comments have sparked debate about the role of US-funded NGOs in global politics and their potential for misuse.
