Do you normally tweet your half baked “discoveries” as propaganda in an effort to undermine the government when performing an audit?

Edit: I really don’t think the way this audit is being conducted is out of a genuine love for America, or the American citizens, or even out of just wanting to do good work. This is very nakedly a dishonest, petty, and malicious investigation.

It's a government audit, not a private company, so the results will be made public regardless. If the audit finds that the computer code is actually correct according to the laws, but it's the laws themselves that are illogical, wasteful, or easy to defraud, that is still quite useful for the public to know. I agree using Twitter is unconventional but again, it's an audit of a massive public program to which virtually every American who pays taxes contributes (except, ironically, many government employees themselves)

None of this works the way you imagine it does. Laws are by necessity interpreted. Courts do this all the time. Musk & his kids have zero knowledge, skill or authority in this regard.

System audits require a well defined structure and scope, context, methodology, governance. They take into consideration the IT systems, and the human systems and processes. They clearly define questions to be answered.

This is neither. It is a PR exercise to create an appearance of the regime doing “something” that sounds impressive to their base.
