'This is INSANELY easy to prove. DOJ just needs to make a move'

Elon Musk, President Donald Trump's leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, has made a startling discovery, saying there are more than 100,000 active federal employees illegally receiving unemployment benefits.

The DOGE chief revealed the stunning figure Saturday to Lara Trump, host of "My View" on Fox News.

"We've actually found there's a lot of people who are federal government employees, that are active employees, who nonetheless have applied for and received unemployment insurance," Musk explained.

"While they are federal employees," an incredulous Trump responded.

"Yes, and this appears to be at least 100,000 people," Musk continued.

"Wow!" Trump said.

Online journalist Nick Sortor reacted with outrage: "That's called FRAUD. WE NEED ARRESTS!"

"This is INSANELY easy to prove. DOJ just needs to make a move," he added. "These arrests are layups."

"I'm really, really hoping I'm proven wrong but I'm starting to lose hope that this DOJ is ever going to make any significant arrests for corruption, voter fraud, etc."

Matt Van Swol, a former nuclear scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy, noted: "They actually received unemployment benefits from the government while also working???

"That is the definition of fraudulent payments. Needs to be investigated … but where the hell is Pam Bondi?!"

Last month, as WorldNetDaily reported, Musk revealed more unemployment fraud discovered by DOGE, including thousands of recipients over 115 years old, between one and five years old, and with birth dates more than 15 years in the future.

"Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future! This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in," Musk said at the time.
