Actually Steve Davis, who works with Musk at DOGE, corrected it in the interview saying that the online survey was part of an $830 million contract by the Department of the Interior that DOGE stopped. We saw the internal emails and contract that was stopped to back that up. https://t.co/RGtcefP2hE

The truth is brutally simple. There is no incentive to save money in Washington. The grift doesn’t just survive, it scales. The more outrageous the contract, the more untouchable it becomes. Try questioning it, and you’ll be accused of not understanding government operations or, worse, of undermining democracy.
But it’s the public who gets fleeced, year after year. This is not about political ideology. This is about a self-reinforcing system that rewards inefficiency and cloaks waste in patriotism. It’s bipartisan, institutionalized, and metastatic.
Until voters start treating government contracts like they treat their personal budgets, this carousel keeps spinning. Every once in a while, a figure like Elon Musk points a flashlight into the fog. The media scrambles to fact-check him, but the contract still exists. The emails are real. The money almost got burned.
You don’t need another report to prove the system is corrupt. You just need to look at who’s getting rich and ask how.
