Politico employees suggest that Elon Musk expenses for breaking down the decomposition caused late paycheck

Politico employees received their two weekly direct deposits late this week, and annoying employees who believe Elon Musk’s crash on public spending played a role in the late payment.

Politico has received at least $ 8.2 million from the US government in recent years, with $ 44,000 of what comes from the US Agency for International Development (USAID), according to disco -pending.gov. Musk, the world’s richest man now responsible for the Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has announced plans to cut back on funding for USAID.

Many Politico employees typically receive direct deposits every other Tuesday, but this week they woke up and noticed that the funds did not hit their account. An employee told Fox News Digital that management did not communicate the problem until 1 p.m. 9 when they criticized it as a “technical error.”

Politico employees received their two weekly direct deposits late this week, and annoying employees who believe Elon Musk’s crash on public spending played a role in the late payment.

According to the employee, many concerns were unaddened when panic policy employees expressed concern about paying bills and being hit with cover fees from their banks. Politico Management eventually insisted that it was a technical error between the bank and pay providers and that everyone would be paid at the end of the day.

The employees were eventually paid, but it did not look like “pending” until after 1 p.m. 17 one and did not clear until Wednesday morning, according to the affected employee.

“Politico screwed a lot of people,” the employee told Fox News Digital.

A Politico spokesman made the following statement: “Employees were paid yesterday, there was a technical mistake that was remedied within hours.”

Politico did not immediately respond to a series of follow -up questions about whether Musk’s crash on public spending had something to do with the delayed payment.

While Politico received cash from USAID, it was hardly the public agency that has given the politico the most. The Department of Health and Human Services is a leader with $ 1.37 million followed by $ 1.35 million from the Ministry of the Interior, according to USSPENDING.GOV.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, now responsible for the Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has announced plans to cut back on funding for USAID.

The Department of Energy has given Politico $ 1.29 million, the Department of Agriculture has given $ 552,024, and the Department of Commerce has given $ 485,572.

Wednesday, when employees were still annoyed at the late payment, Musk responded to a post of X, who claimed that the Department of Health and Human Services used approx. $ 500,000 on the Politico Pro subscription by writing, “This is weird.”

The Politico employee said the employee’s concerns quickly changed from being angry with the late payroll to anxiety over Musk’s post.

Politico did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Musk’s submissions.

Social media broke out with claims that the government has funded Politico, but others pointed out that Politico has an expensive subscription service that is critical to many government employees. Basic subscriptions are typically between $ 12,000 and $ 15,000 for three users.

While Politico received small amounts of cash from state agencies under prior administrations, it seems to have skyrocketed during the bite administration, according to USSpening.gov.
