Elizabeth Warren earns a salary of $285,000 per year as a U.S. Senator, but her reported net worth is $67 million. How is this possible?

Elizabeth Warren has been a big name in American politics. She is known for demanding higher taxes on the rich and criticizing big banks. She says she is the voice of the common man. However, a creator named TaraBull on X shared this and said her salary is $285,000 annually and her total net worth is $67 million, how is all this possible?

On which Elon Musk also reposted and said, ”Where did Senator Karen get $67 million?” From this statement of Elon Musk, it seems that he is more focused on not wasting taxpayer money, and he has worked on this with Trump, he started the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Trump.

Donald Trump, at the start of his second term (January 20, 2025), made Elon Musk the head of DOGE. The goal of this initiative was to cut federal government spending by $2 trillion, so that taxpayers’ money could be saved. Trump said that the saved money could be returned to taxpayers in the form of checks, like $5,000 per taxpaying household.

On X, DOGE always points out wrong actions and highlights the waste of money, which you can see on X. However, DOGE has not posted anything about Elizabeth Warren.
