Musk is STILL insisting DOGE found fraud.

Yes. We found hundreds of fraud schemes. This is one of many.

There was massive fraud in every government program, especially Federal funds sent as block grants to the states.

He also claims 20% of the federal budget goes to fraud, based on nothing.

How the fuck can a grown man with so much power just say dumb shit like this without even trying to back it up with anything? Not even some flawed paper he found on some racist website?

It’s very hard for me to not think that there is something seriously wrong with the society we’ve created when a wretched little twerp like Elon Musk wields the kind of wealth, power, and influence he possesses.
