The tech expert — who goes by “DataRepublican” on X — has received threats since Elon Musk started highlighting her work.“The numbers don’t lie,” the data expert added. “And look, they don’t always say what I want to hear. But they do tell me the truth.”
"A data scientist with ties to DOGE chief Elon Musk declared Monday that she believes “over $100 billion” in taxpayer money is being wasted or stolen by federal employees at government agencies.
The tech expert is using artificial intelligence to expose cases of government waste, fraud and abuse and goes by “DataRepublican” on X, where her posts are regularly shared by the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder.
“Whew,” the woman, who is deaf, said through an interpreter when asked by NewsNation’s Brian Entin about how much federal cash she believes is being wasted or stolen based on her efforts poring over public databases.
“If I had to guess, I would say it is over $100 billion,” she said. “But what is more important is what they are doing with that money.” . . .
“I cannot tell you enough how much both [Republicans and Democrats] are involved,” she said. “It is everywhere.”
"Musk’s DOGE initiative, which aims to cut at least $1 trillion in federal spending, claims it has already saved taxpayers about $55 billion by slashing government grants, finding lost money, downsizing federal agencies and laying off thousands of government workers."
