Musk posted on social media to clarify the reasonable measures agreed by the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) team and the US Treasury. 1. Require all government spending payments to have a payment classification code, which is required to pass the financial audit; 2. All payments must also state the reason for the payment in the remarks column, which is usually empty now; 3. For entities known to have fraudulent activities, deceased persons, objects who may be under the guise of terrorist organizations, or situations that do not match congressional appropriations, the "no payment" list must be effectively enforced and cannot be ignored. He said that these necessary reforms were implemented by long-serving low-level staff in the Department of Finance, not the Department of Government Effectiveness.
