ABOUT VITC

Elon Musk posted on X about the dire state of the U.S. federal government's IT infrastructure, stating that the systems are so outdated that they cannot even verify if payments are legitimate, leading to widespread fraud, waste, and abuse. He emphasized that this situation is why the government often fails audits, as they literally do not know where tax dollars are spent. Musk offered to volunteer as an IT consultant to help fix these issues, acknowledging that the task would be tough and not glamorous. He argued that without functional IT, government efficiency and deficit reduction are impossible. His post received several responses, including one suggesting the IRS might still be using ancient technology, another implying governmental inefficiency might be intentional, and comments on the procurement process of software systems by the government. Musk replied to these, indicating the situation is worse than imagined and that the government overpays for ineffective software.
