Elon Musk Claims US Government Deleted Terabyte of Data to Cover Crimes

Elon Musk has accused the United States government of deleting a terabyte of financial data to conceal criminal activity. The allegations come after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shared that the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) employees deleted this data, prompting the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to recover it for analysis. 200-300 USIP staff members were reportedly fired in the purge, and Musk claims this was done to cover up financial misconduct, including payments to the Taliban and Iraq. He credits DOGE’s technical expertise with recovering the deleted data.
