This claim is misleading. Musk did not say he wanted to eliminate the qualification program. Instead, he said he wanted to eliminate wasted and fraud in his qualification program.

“It’s a big thing to eliminate because most federal spending is the waste and fraud of qualification spending, which is qualifications,” he says in the clip. New York Times It has been reported Musk was “a “big thing to exclude” claiming fraud in Social Security and other major programs. ”

Trump administration spokesman Alex Pfeiffer pushed back x To the claim.

“The reason Democrats have failed to respond quickly is because they lie endlessly and no one trusts them. They are so desperate for trust that they call this account a ‘fact post’. They hope you haven’t seen the video and see Elon mentioning the waste in the program,” Pfeiffer tweeted.
