This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.
Mike Johnson on Elon Musk: "We meet late into the night in his office and we've looked at that. What he's finding with his algorithms crawling through the data of Social Security system is enormous amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse."

I often turn to foreign policy expert Richard Haass to help make sense of the news abroad, but he also brings his sharp eye to domestic developments. Here, he lays out a measured blueprint for what Democrats should do about Trump.

Feels like I'm missing something. Even setting aside the clear corruption and conflict of interest, why would SpaceX know how to "overhaul air traffic control"? Is the knowledge required to launch a rocket every few months really transferable to managing 7,500 planes in the air?

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”
Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!
