People talk about it all the time. And one man's 'fraud' is another man's policy initiative. It's easy to throw the F-word around to label any policy you don't like. And it's especially easy to handwave that there's "fraud everywhere" and use that as an excuse to loot the government yourself. You think there's "rampant fraud"? Put up or shut up, no one trusts your anonymous opinion.
If there's actual fraud, Musk should be able to show evidence of it and bring charges against the perpetrators. The President doesn't get to just point at someone and yell "fraud" and make it so. Particularly this President, hawking memecoin scams and $60 made-in-China "American" Bibles as a side hustle.
