We know Musk has repeatedly lied about what they found: https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/10/elon-musk-pushes-false-claim-ex-usaid-chief-earned-23-million-the-biggest-doge-hoaxes-spread-on-x/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/10/elon-mus...
We know Trump is prone to lying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements...
And Trump has signed an executive order making all their actions secret, which is suspicious for a president who campaigned for transparent government that wouldn't need Freedom of Information requests, and for a department which is supposed to be uncovering and revealing things: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/us/politics/trump-musk-doge-foia-public-records.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/us/politics/trump-musk-do...
In short, I don't believe it. (That's not to say 'I believe there is no corruption' or even 'I believe there is little corruption'. It is to say 'I believe an employee sends Musk an email saying they found $10M spent on <whatever> and Musk gives it three seconds of attention then declares it is fraud and announces that on Twitter').
