Donald and Elon making wild claims of fraud with NO FACTS

Donald and Elon Musk have been talking a big game lately, making all sorts of claims about disaster relief, lodging for migrants, and even Social Security payments for 150-year-olds. But surprise, surprise – the details they provide are about as clear as mud. Musk even had to admit that some of his claims are – let’s be clear – are total bull.

During his first news conference since starting DOGE, Musk backtracked on a claim that the government spent $50 million on condoms for Gaza and Hamas. Turns out, the condoms were actually sent to a province in Mozambique named Gaza to fight HIV! Oops!

Despite Musk’s claims of transparency, most of DOGE’s activities are only discovered through reporting or when government offices suddenly shut down. And let’s not forget the vague updates on social media that never seem to come with any actual proof.

According to Jessica Tillipman, associate dean for government procurement law, calling all of this fraud or corruption is a bit of a stretch.  Trump does not seem to really care because one of his first acts was to fired a bunch of inspectors general and paused the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, whose main job was to route out fraud. 

So, next time Donald and Elon start making wild claims, maybe they should put up or shut up. Or better yet, just stick to the facts.
