  • Tech billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) task force quietly tried to delete its so-called "wall of receipts" after reporters identified major mistakes and falsehoods in their claimed monetary savings to the government from canceling various federal contracts.

The article from MSN discusses an investigative report by Lee Fang, published in The Intercept, which scrutinizes Elon Musk's involvement with Dogecoin. Fang's investigation highlights several discrepancies in Musk's public statements regarding his influence on Dogecoin's market value. Musk has often portrayed his tweets and actions as humorous or inconsequential, but Fang points out that these statements have significantly impacted Dogecoin's price, leading to substantial financial gains for Musk and others. The report details how Musk's tweets, like the one suggesting Tesla might accept Dogecoin for merchandise, have directly correlated with spikes in Dogecoin's value. Furthermore, Fang notes that Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, have received Dogecoin payments, contradicting Musk's claims of minimal involvement. The article also touches on the broader implications of Musk's actions, suggesting they might be part of a larger pattern of market manipulation, although no legal actions have been confirmed against Musk related to Dogecoin as of the article's publication.
