What’s the argument that what Elon is up to is good?

*paging Elon fans*

Forty-three paragraphs into the NYT's latest hit piece on @elonmusk, the six (!) by-lined reporters reveal that the federal government lost $236 billion to apparent fraud ("improper payments") in 2023 alone. Maybe this isn't the dunk you guys thought it was? https://t.co/7UDVijgVMe

Fraud in the federal government is closer to 10% of disbursements, so more like ~$700 billion per year.

Outright waste is at least 15%, so another trillion+ dollars. 

Anyone who works in government knows this.

Elon Musk

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation
