Musk and DOGE intend to root out waste and corruption to make a more efficient and less expensive federal government.“But maybe her advice is amazing,” Musk posted sarcastically on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), in response to the revelations of Alexis Pelosi’s pay level.Typically, political appointees’ salaries are determined by a fairly strict pay scale based on their previous governmental and nongovernmental experience and education level.
Alexis Pelosi, the wife of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s (D-CA) nephew Laurence Pelosi, has earned a lucrative salary of $181,648.00 in taxpayer dollars since joining the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 2022 as a senior advisor for climate change.
Alexis’s husband, Laurence, is the son of Ron Pelosi, the brother of Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi.While nepotism and favoritism in government employment are not unheard of, data from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) suggests Alexis Pelosi’s salary is overly inflated compared to the government baseline she should be at.
The OPM guide indicates she should only be at the pay level of $143,546.00, not $181,648.00. This would suggest that senior officials in the Biden-Harris government overrode the standard payscale, possibly at the behest of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
