king the other day about the discrepancies in the Social Security database that DOGE found. And I think a lot of people were interpreting it as that they found corruption because there was indication that there were a lot of death fields that were set to false or something as if they never died. And it would give you the indication that there were Social Security numbers that can be used for illegal, devious, corrupt purposes of people who were actually dead for a long time.

Now when I asked for a clarification on that I got a good clarification from Data Republican on X. Now that's an account you should follow. I always tell you you should follow the explainers. They're the valuable ones. You know the Mike Bens, the Glenn Greenwalds, and I'm going to add Data Republican. It's one word, Data Republican, if you're on X. She's just a great analyst. So she does with data just a tremendous job. And so she gave this answer which Elon said exactly. So we know that Musk agrees with this exact interpretation. Now how valuable is that? That's really valuable. That I've got this question, Data Republican gives me this good answer that I'm going to read to you, and then Elon says yes that's exactly right. Like how in the world? And then the rest of you get to read it. So you get the benefit from that interaction. The fact that Musk personally can tell you that something is on point or not, that's just it's mind-blowing. It's just absolutely mind-blowing that this is even possible.

Anyway, Data Republican answered my question about the Social Security database and said, I believe the most accurate interpretation is that the Social Security Administration lacks a reliable and consistent source of truth, making its records inherently flawed. Without an authoritative and accurate data set, internal audits and reported figures on benefit recipients cannot be fully trusted. So the problem is not that they found a specific dollar amount of crime. The problem is you wouldn't know if there was crime there or not. That's a really big problem. So yeah, needs to be solved but you can't put a dollar amount on it. So that's what I wondered. I wondered how you could put a dollar amount on it.

Meanwhile Meta created, as you know, the metaverse. And we saw the first ad for it that showed what the metaverse is. It's a virtual reality kind of world that Z
