Elon Musk stumbled across one secret payment Joe Biden never wanted exposed

Joe Biden presided over one of the most corrupt administrations in history. 

He used the government to help his friends and political allies. 

And Elon Musk stumbled across one secret payment Joe Biden never wanted exposed. 

Biden’s EPA sent $2 billion to a group connected to fake climate group 

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been going through federal spending with a fine tooth comb. 

DOGE uncovered that former President Joe Biden sent $2 billion to a nonprofit connected to failed Georgia Democrat Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. 

Biden used the $1 trillion Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022 as a massive green energy slush fund. 

The Inflation Reduction Act sent $20 billion to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to dole out through its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. 

$2 billion from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was earmarked for Power Forward Communities, a group connected to Abrams. 

Power Forward Communities was a popup group that was founded in 2023 with the stated intent of receiving taxpayer money, according to its application to operate as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. 

The group received the $2 billion grant even though it only had $100 in its bank account and never managed anywhere close to that kind of money before. 

Power Forward was set up in 2023 by a collection of groups including Rewiring America where Abrams serves as Senior Counsel. 

Abrams ran and lost to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) in 2018 and the 2022 Midterm Elections. 

Rewiring America is a far-left environmental group that wants to replace every gas-powered household appliance like stoves with electric ones as part of an effort to end the use of fossil fuels. 

Power Forward Communities claimed it would use the $2 billion to help households install solar panels, electric stoves, weatherization improvements, and electric vehicle chargers. 

Power the Future executive director Daniel Turner told the Washington Free Beacon this arrangement was straight-up “fraud.”

“For an organization that has no experience in this, that was literally just established, and had $100 in the bank to receive a $2 billion grant—it doesn’t just fly in the face of common sense, it’s out and out fraud,” Turner said. 

DOGE could have found the tip of the iceberg of corruption 

Power Forward Communities touts that it partners with the Southern Economic Advancement Project and Fair Count, two groups created by Abrams. 

And it partners with the American Federation of Teachers and the AFL-CIO, two Big Labor groups that almost exclusively back Democrats. 

 EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called the discovery troubling. 

“It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion,” Zeldin said. “That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.”

Zeldin and DOGE found $20 billion in an account at Citibank that the EPA had stashed from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. 

Only a portion of the money has been distributed and Zeldin vowed to claw back the rest. 

Joe Biden used the EPA to conceal money that he was moving to his political allies like Stacey Abrams.
