Divya Delhi: Elon Musk, Tesla CEO and DOGE head, raised issues with the US government's payment method. He raised worries about possible fraud and "inefficiencies" costing over $100B yearly. Musk said on X, "I was told yesterday that over $100B/year is paid to people without an SSN or temp ID." If true, this is really odd."He told that the US Treasury Department and DOGE team have collectively agreed to alter reporting rules for all departing government payments. Musk said all outgoing government payments will now have a 'payment classification code' for auditing.Musk said on X, “To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following: To pass financial audits, all outbound government payments must have a payment category code. Audits are nearly impossible due to frequent blankness. All payments must additionally contain an explanation for the payment in the remark area, which is currently left blank. We aren't judging this rationale yet; we just want SOME explanation of the payment, not NONE!Musk stressed the 'DO-NOT-PAY list' use. This list of bogus entities must be updated weekly or daily.He said, “The DO-NOT-PAY list of known fraudsters, deceased people, likely terrorist group fronts, or those who don't match Congressional budgets must be enforced." It can take a year to get on this list, which is too lengthy. Update this list weekly, if not daily.Long-time government personnel, not @DOGE, are making the obvious and needed reforms above. Musk said, "It's absurd these changes weren't made before."He deemed the scenario very suspicious and requested immediate action. When I asked Treasury staff how much of that sum was clear fraud, they agreed it was around half: $50B/year or $1B/week. Musk said, "This is insane and must be fixed now."
