Jonah Goldberg criticized Elon Musk's approach to uncovering federal waste during a CNN panel discussion, likening it to the flawed search for WMDs in Iraq. He specifically pointed out Musk's false claims regarding government expenditures, such as misleading data about pension claims for individuals supposedly over 150 years old. Goldberg cautioned that if Musk continues to disseminate inaccurate information, it could erode public trust in not only Musk’s credibility but also the expertise of policymakers at large. This scenario may bolster criticisms from right-wing figures who already view Musk skeptically.
Goldberg argues that Elon Musk's reckless claims about government spending, akin to the Iraq WMD search, threaten credibility and public trust in governance.
Goldberg warns that Musk's continuous misrepresentations will lead to a broader loss of trust in experts and the political process.
