The DOGE team isn’t waiting around for engraved invitations from bloated and corrupt federal agencies.
They have their orders from President Trump, and they are hard on the heels of the waste and corrupt spending.
This time, Elon’s team has been spotted at the headquarters of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
And the staffers are ticked off.
According to Holly Otterbein (a Politico reporter for some added irony) Elon’s team didn’t just enter the building — there are apparently “senior advisers” on staff at the CFPB who work for Elon!
Elon Musk’s team on Friday entered the headquarters of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Friday, sources tell us.
Three Musk allies are listed as "senior advisers" in the staff directory at the CFPB now.
CFBP staff is "mad as hell."

I’ll give you a heads up — this story is even more grand than it appears at first glance.
Not only did President Trump just fire the CFPB Director a week ago in preparation…
It's been an honor serving as your @CFPB Director.
Every day, Americans from across the country shared their ideas and experiences with us. You helped us hold powerful companies & their executives accountable for breaking the law, and you made our work better.
Thank you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/JD7lIcwmHa

But the CFPB isn’t even a true federal agency.
At least, it isn’t funded by Congress. It is literally a creation of (native drumroll…) Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren.
And it is directly funded by the Federal Reserve.
President Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Fun fact: The CFPB was the brainchild of Elizabeth Warren, and is not funded by Congress, but by the Federal Reserve.

If that doesn’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, well… that’s because it probably means it’s just as corrupt as USAID.
Here’s a great synopsis of the juicy backstory on Rohit Chopra and the REAL purpose of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
If ever there was a badly named organization, this is it! It literally does the exact opposite of what its name implies!
President Trump just fired Rohit Chopra, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)—and it’s about time.

Here’s the full text of that post from X user Krista Monroe who nailed down perfectly what CFPB is all about:
President Trump just fired Rohit Chopra, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)—and it’s about time.
Here’s the backstory: Trump himself nominated Chopra in 2017 to fill a Democrat seat on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). But when Biden took office, he promoted Chopra to CFPB director in 2021, handing him a five-year term set to last until late 2026. Well, not anymore.
Trump terminated him early, and word is, he did it via email. Brutal. 😂
Why does this matter? The CFPB was created after the 2008 financial crisis to regulate consumer finances like mortgages and car loans. But let’s be real—it’s been a bloated government overreach from the start. Conservatives have long criticized it for harming businesses more than helping consumers.
Chopra wasn’t just another bureaucrat—he was pushing banks to grant loans to illegal immigrants, arguing that immigration status shouldn’t be an excuse to deny loans. You can’t make this stuff up. They’re prioritizing non-citizens over Americans.
Naturally, Maxine Waters (D-CA) is having a meltdown, calling this “the end of an era of strong consumer protection.” Translation? The end of woke financial policies.
Trump is cleaning house, and this is just the beginning. More Biden-era holdovers need to go—who’s next?
And sure enough, President Trump fired Rohit Chopra with all the respect due him.
He dropped him an email, according to CNN:
President Donald Trump has fired Rohit Chopra, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Chopra received an email from the White House on Saturday morning informing him of the firing, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
Chopra was appointed in 2021 by former President Joe Biden to serve as director of the bureau that regulates financial agencies. The director of the CFPB, who under law was to serve a five-year term, also serves as a board member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, voting on key banking regulations. Chopra will no longer be serving in that role either.
But the real story is what the CFPB actually does, and what Chopra in particular pushed for it to do.
Under Chopra’s leadership, the CFPB was literally forcing lending institutions to approve loans to illegal immigrants; prioritizing illegals over citizens!
And what was the budget for this terrible organization which gets its funding from the Federal Reserve bank?
How does $2.75 BILLION a year sound? Not a bad payday for prioritizing the financial needs of illegals over citizens.

Here’s the full text of that very informative post!
CFPB RIP – Musk’s DOGE Just Put Warren’s Bureaucracy on Notice! 🚨
Is this a win for the American people? Or just another government agency gone too far?
ADVERTISEMENT@ElonMusk just declared “CFPB RIP”, signaling the end of Elizabeth Warren’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau—a bloated bureaucracy that cost taxpayers over $2.75 BILLION in 2023 but only returned a fraction of that in actual consumer relief.
⚠️ Budget: $2.75 BILLION
⚠️ Consumer Relief: $19 BILLION (since inception)
⚠️ Efficiency Ratio: Only 14.5% of its expenditures directly benefited consumers.Meanwhile, there are FAR MORE EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES:
✅ State Attorney Generals & Local Protections – Faster action, less federal waste.
✅ Private Consumer Advocacy Groups – BBB, Consumer Reports, watchdogs that actually help.
✅ AI & Blockchain-Based Fraud Prevention – Real-time alerts, no bloated bureaucracy.
✅ Market-Based Competition – When businesses compete, consumers win.
✅ Legal Reforms & Class-Action Lawsuits – Give power back to the people.💰 With billions wasted, is it time to rethink federal consumer protection?
🔥 Is Musk’s DOGE about to gut MORE inefficient agencies?
🔥 Should the CFPB have been shut down sooner?

Economist E.J. Antoni didn’t hold back giving his raw take about the CFPB, either:

So as the staffers rage…
The tireless work of DOGE continues.
And the likes of Elizabeth Warren will continue to watch as their Deep State superstructures are infiltrated, weakened, and ultimately shut down…
Leaving more room for freedom, and less room for government “solutions”.
At this pace, we might just get our country back.
