Elon Musk claims FEMA sent $59M last week to luxury NYC hotels for illegal migrants

“That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals,” continued Musk, who leads the agency tasked with cutting back on government overspending.

Elon Musk contended that the Federal Emergency Management Agency sent a staggering $59 million “last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants – a claim that City Hall officials rebutted Monday. 

NY Post video writer Brian Faas shares this story. The world’s richest man said in an early morning post on X that the funds were “just discovered” by his Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE– even as President Trump called for a complete overhaul of FEMA that could even see it shuttered. 

Trump last month signed an executive order to create a council to review FEMA as he expressed concerns over “serious concerns of political bias” in the agency. “Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order,” Musk wrote.
