Neither Musk nor Trump care whether what they say is true. They don't care about rooting out fraud or saving taxpayer money. The administration is just “flooding the zone,” knowing that the people cannot keep up.

Polls are already demonstrating public dissatisfaction with Trump-Musk’s autocratic overreach and top agenda items, yet they have only intensified their assault, and GOP lawmakers who have dared to air their concerns have done so in only the meekest of terms.
