Odaily Planet Daily News - One of the leaders of the U.S. Department of Efficiency, Vivek Ramaswamy, stated on X: "The Treasury maintains a 'Do Not Pay (DNP) list' that requires agencies to check it before disbursing funds. The DNP screens for deceased individuals, those in default on federal debts, and excluded contractors. But in reality, this is not how it operates: for example, the Small Business Administration issued over 100,000 forgivable loans to individuals on the DNP list, resulting in $5.3 billion paid to beneficiaries who may not have qualified for federal support. The SBA Inspector General recognized this and recommended that the agency stop this practice, but the current leadership of the agency rejected the proposal. This blatant waste must stop. It is time for DOGE to take action." Elon Musk commented on this, stating that the scale and boldness of government fraud is shocking.
