Elon Musk has claimed the existence of computers in the US government that can send money from nothing. These devices have been found in several federal departments, including the Treasury, Defense, and Health and Human Services.
Discovery of 'Magic Computers'
On Senator Ted Cruz's podcast, Musk explained that these computers act as 'magic money' machines — creating money out of thin air. According to Musk, many of these systems are used in federal departments to manage financial transactions and payments.
Reactions and Discussions
Jameson Lopp, chief security officer at Bitcoin custody firm Casa, remarked that such situations wouldn't occur if using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which provide strict monetary management.
Consequences and Criticism
Musk also highlighted finding excess media resources and software subscriptions in departments, which he attributes more to incompetence than deliberate fraud. This discovery has sparked criticism, especially in light of budget cuts.
Elon Musk's statements about 'magic computers' have sparked widespread reaction among the public and experts discussing the possible consequences and the need for reform in state financial management.
