Elon Musk: “That trivial seeming change, my guess is probably saves $100…”

“I mean, some of them are very basic efficiencies, like just adding in requirements for federal payments, that any given payment must have an assigned congressional payment code and a comment field with something in it that's more than nothing. That trivial seeming change, my guess is probably saves $100 billion or even $200 billion a year. because there were massive numbers of payments that were going out with no, no congressional payment code and with nothing in the comment field, which makes auditing the payments impossible.” (1:43:56–1:44:06)
