Elon Musk: “There are 14 ‘magic money computers’ in U.S. that can send payments from thin air”

Elon Musk said that one of the wilder discoveries his Department of Government Efficiency has made is 14 'magic money computers' that can send payments from thin air.

Musk's DOGE has already slashed staffing at several federal agencies, cut federal spending and in an unprecedented move emailed federal employees asking 'what they got done last week'.

Ted Cruz hosted the 'First Buddy' and richest man on earth on his Verdict podcast Monday and Musk did not disappoint in taking listeners inside DOGE and brought up one shocking discovery after gaining access to the Treasury Department.

'One of the things you told me about is what you called magic money computers,' Cruz said.

'You may think that government computers all talk to each other, they all synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere and its coherent and that the numbers you're presented as a Senator are actually the real numbers. They're not,' he said.

Musk said the numbers could be off by anywhere from five to percent.

'Any computer which can just make money out of thin air, that's magic money,' Musk explained.

Cruz asked: 'How does that work?'

Musk responded: 'It just issues payments!'

'They're mostly at the Treasury, some are at HHS, one or two at State, there's some at DOD, I think we've found 14 magic money computers,' Musk explained.

He added: 'They just send money out of nothing,' alleging that they fabricate payments and send them worldwide.

Some liberal critics noted that what Musk discovered are the tenets of what's called Modern Monetary Theory, which suggests governments do not need to worry about accumulating debt since they can pay interest by printing money.

The Texas Senator then said Musk claimed that the computers at the US Treasury Department were sending out 'trillions in payments'.
