Musk earlier this month asserted that roughly $1 billion per week in entitlement payments are "unequivocal and obvious fraud." "Everything at Treasury was geared towards complain minimization. People ... receive money don't complain, but people who don't receive money (especially fraudsters) complain very loudly, so the fraud was allowed to continue,” Musk said.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., told Newsmax on Wednesday that “people need to go to jail” for the fraud, noting that many of the programs that received federal dollars had “made up names.”
