I’m all for better accounting practices and better tracking of government spending as well as eliminating waste. Absolutely.

But pretending that Musk and co are doing an audit by accessing treasury records and payment systems or that it will help with government waste in any way is laughable.

Again, literally no one would be able to make any kind of credible department spending audit out of the bank records of a mid-sized company.

This is the US government’s treasury we’re talking about here! This is several orders of magnitude bigger and more complicated!

Not to mention an audit would not require any write access.
