don't trust, verify.

this is ultimately my issue with doge. it is elon touting all of these alleged savings, all of this alleged fraud and alleged abuse and alleged criminal activity and he has the largest mouthpiece of anyone in the world. but there is no way to fact check him in real time. and once he has shouted these things from the rooftops, almost all people from his party and many from the opposing one will believe them because "why would he lie"

When (or more likely IF) he every issues a correction, its too late and the damage is done.

But ultimately, I think this is a feature not a bug. When asked about this specifically, he said, "I will make lots of mistakes, no one bats 1000" and he presented no solution. The point is to sow distrust and he is doing an effective job so kudos
