Is Elon Musk at it again?
Super Bowl LIX is ongoing and has fans of football biting their nails in sweet anticipation. The Kansas City Chiefs are defending their two-time title whereas the Philadelphia Eagles are looking to snatch it away from them. Apart from the main event of the night, one thing everyone loves about Super Bowl is the ads and as per rumors, it looks like Elon Musk has spent millions and millions of dollars on them. The question is, what is the multi-billionaire advertising?
While Elon Musk has his fair share of businesses, rumors are that he has spent $40 million on ads exposing government waste discovered by the Department of Government Efficiency aka DOGE, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Has Elon Musk actually spent $40 million for ads at Super Bowl LIX?
Announced by PresidentDonald Trumpand led byElon Musk, DOGE is a temporary organization that aims to reduce wasteful and fraudulent federal spending, as well as eliminate excessive regulations.
The agency has alarmed citizens after gaining access to the Treasury Department’s payment system which may put the sensitive data of millions of Americans at risk. Those critical of DOGE have raised concerns about Musk’s involvement given the fact that his companies, SpaceX, included, receive billions of dollars in government contracts.
