"GIVE MR MUSK A MEDAL!" - Senator Kennedy Sets Internet ABLAZE with Blistering Verdict on DOGE. 'HE'S MY HERO.'

A Republican Senator has won plaudits online for his no-holds-barred speech on Capitol Hill defending Elon Musk's work at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

John Kennedy, of Louisiana, lauded Musk as a national hero for his relentless audit of government spending under President Donald Trump's directive.

'They're very, very, very upset at President Trump,' Kennedy declared in his signature Southern drawl. 'And they're very, very, very upset at Elon Musk.'

'People have been screaming like they're part of a prison riot!' he proclaimed, shaking his head at the outrage directed at Musk's forensic financial deep dive.

'Love this Man!' wrote one X user, with another promptly agreeing, 'He's my hero!'

'Keep this man for the humor. I can imagine it will only get better as he gets older,' added one user.

'His is worth sharing with those on the left who are willing to listen and are not completely blinded by their ideologies. The information Mr. Kennedy presents is so clear and compelling. I am so thankful for what DOGE is doing,' tweeted a fourth.

During his 16-minute speech Kennedy wasted no time in painting a picture of Musk as a modern-day crusader, a genius businessman with a top-secret security clearance.

'Musk is doing what the American people have wanted for years,' Kennedy said. 'But in Washington, common sense is illegal.'

Musk was handpicked by President Trump to fulfill a campaign promise: a line-by-line, no-nonsense audit of every single dollar the federal government spends.

'President Trump issued an executive order and he turned to Mr. Musk and said, 'I want you to do for me what I said I was gonna do in the election,' Kennedy explained. 'I want you to go through all the spending line by line.'

According to Kennedy, the findings thus far have been nothing short of scandalous, exposing a breathtaking level of taxpayer-funded absurdity.

With each revelation, his voice took on a mix of disbelief and righteous indignation.

Musk's audit began with USAID, the agency responsible for handling America's foreign aid budget, a $40 billion behemoth with 10,000 employees.

Kennedy described it as a bloated, unchecked institution that had become a piggy bank for Washington insiders looking to throw money around the world, regardless of where it ended up.

Musk highlighted some of the more unusual causes to which fund were directed.
