Jordan Belfort, entrepreneur and subject of the 2013 movie âThe Wolf of Wall Street,â said losing track of trillions of federal dollars doesnât happen "by accidentâ and he credited Elon Musk for saving the country from âgoing broke.â
He added that waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government had reached âbiblical proportions.â
Belfort made the comments in an interview earlier this week in response to the Department of Government Efficiency, headed up by Musk, finding roughly $4.7 trillion in payments that were disbursed by the U.S. Treasury without an identification code, making traceability âalmost impossible.â
"Listen, it's like the oldest trick in the book. Back in the day when I wanted to hide my spending from my father, who worked for me â he was the gatekeeper,â Belfort told Fox News. âSo what do you do? You just leave everything blank where the money goes. Who knows? You can't trace it.â
