Turns out it’s not rocket science after all 
Even the CBO admits things are out of control.
I am not aware of any fraud the DOGE team has uncovered.
What have been randomly tossed around are legit government programs Congress has explicitly funded, but Musk disagrees with on ideological ground.
That’s not the definition of fraud.

How many of these people are collecting SS payment? Musk with his 250 IQ points can’t cross reference the transaction tables to show which of these dead people are collecting payment?
In fact, this database cleanness problem was raised by the Inspector General back in 2015. Only 13 dead people were found still collecting payments, but it will cost almost 10m to clean the db, so they didn’t bother.

Half of the savings came from misreading 8M as 8B.
I am sure my middle schooler will do a better job than these “geniuses”.

The US isn’t the only country toying with the idea of adding crypto to foreign currencies and gold as a place to stash reserves but yeah, I think it’s a bad idea.
