Elon Musk: “Departments can't pass audits because the payments don't…”

“… payment, and that if a payment is on the do not pay list, that you don't actually pay it. None of those things are true currently. So the reason that Departments can't pass audits because the payments don't have a categorization code. It's like just a massive number of blank checks just flying out the building. So you can't reconcile blank checks. You've got comment fields that are also blank, so you don't know why the payment was made.” (05:56–06:02)
