Elon Musk: The Whole NGO Scam Is Just Crazy

Elon Musk: The whole NGO scam is just crazy.

“There is a massive amount of corruption, but it is circuitous. There's taxpayer money that is then sent to various government organizations, which then send it to NGOs that are then no longer governed by the laws of the United States.

So, they'll send the money overseas to one NGO, then they'll go through a bunch of them, and then I'm highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to the United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned.

I'm trying to connect the dots on how [some people in government] did become rich; how'd they get $20 million if they're earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that. We're going to try to figure it out and certainly stop it from happening.

Just in general, the whole NGO scam is just crazy. It's blown my mind, really.”
