Elon Musk DOGE team clawed back $80 million for NYC migrant luxury housing

Wow this is incredible news. A dream come true. We're watching someone in a government position keeping his word and truly going after waste, fraud, and abuse IN REAL-TIME.

On 2/10/25, Elon Musk tweeted out, "The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.

A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds."

Then on 2/12/25, the corrupt NYC Comptroller Brad Lander freaked out because it actually happened. The Democrats keep calling Elon Musk "unelected" and saying he has no right to do this. But Elon Musk works under our president as his staff and is following President Trump's orders.

I learned a lot about the NYC Comptroller putting this video together for you, customized this background, took these screenshots, sorry no captions from me, added the gif at the end and chose the background music at the beginning.

CBS 2/12/25: New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is calling on city officials to step in after the federal government seized over $80 million he says was given to the city to house migrants.

He held an emergency news conference Wednesday afternoon after he said his office found the money was missing from the city's accounts.

According to Lander, FEMA awarded the funds to the city to house asylum seekers.

"These are folks who, for the most part, registered with the federal government when they crossed, in many cases got sent here by the federal government. New York City stepped up to provide shelter and services and pay for that," Lander said.

It comes after Elon Musk, head of the White House's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claimed the money was being wasted on luxury hotels to house migrants.

The Department of Homeland Security said four people were recently fired for making unauthorized payments to those luxury hotels.

A Homeland Security spokesperson said in part:"FEMA was funding the Roosevelt Hotel that serves as a Tren de Aragua base of operations and was used to houseLaken Riley's killer. There will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people."

"Sending 59 million bucks to a migrant hotel to house illegal immigrants when there are still people in North Carolina and California who have not received FEMA funding is not something that this administration is going to tolerate," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing after the funds were seized.
