The United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), spearheaded by entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk, has axed a controversial $21 million taxpayer-funded grant that was designed to boost “voter turnout in India.”

This allocation was merely a fragment of a staggering $486 million budget under the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening” initiative approved during the Biden regime.

But that wasn’t all. DOGE’s latest findings revealed that another $29 million had been designated for “strengthening the political landscape in Bangladesh”, a country that recently witnessed significant political upheaval amid allegations of U.S. ‘deep state’ involvement in orchestrating the removal of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, according to NDTV.

The Musk-led department confirmed that several other overseas projects funded by U.S. taxpayers have also been axed.

Below is the full list:

  • $486 million to the “Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening”, including:
    • $22 million for an “inclusive and participatory political process” in Moldova
