Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, which Elon Musk should we believe?

In February, he called the U.S. Agency of International Development, USAID, ``corrupt'', ``beyond repair,'' and ``a ball of worms'' that needs to be eliminated. He claimed that there is a ``gigantic fraud loophole'' where government funds given to NGOs lack sufficient oversight.

In March, Elon Musk called Social Security ``the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time,'' and policy followed his comments.

Then this week he said that: ``If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else: no Social Security, no medical, no defense, nothing.''

This week he said about the big, ugly bill: ``I am sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.''

Which Elon Musk do you believe? The erratic rhetoric and policies of this administration are becoming clear to all who watch.
