Elon Musk criticizes US government computer systems, suggests using blockchain technology
According to Cointelegraph, Elon Musk recently criticized the U.S. government’s computer system on X.com, saying that its software and equipment are outdated and make it impossible to verify whether payments are fraudulent or wasted.
Musk noted that the U.S. government spends too much on software for ineffective results, which he attributes to a lack of accountability within a sprawling bureaucracy rather than deliberate mismanagement.
Musk also mentioned that the equipment used by the IRS is reportedly decades old, showing that the United States has failed to maintain and update critical infrastructure.
Musk has suggested using blockchain technology to improve government transparency and accountability by ensuring a permanent record of every transaction. The Trump administration has expressed its desire to become a global leader in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
