Here is a tweet(or X) from Senator Ted Cruz:

Senator Cruz was talking with Elon Musk, and Musk revealed that there are some computers sending out payments without actually spending money. Instead they create money out of nothing.
So, the federal government is spending 5~10% more than the official numbers and the difference is coming from some computers just creating money? What kind of nonsense is this?
It seems somebody's running a huge criminal operation here.
Cruz: Tell us about that, cause I never heard of that until you brought that up.
Musk: You may think that these government computers all talk to each other, they synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere. And, it's, you know, it's coherent that the numbers for example that you're presented as a Senator are actually the real numbers.
Cruz: One would think!
Musk: One would think... they're not. I mean they're not totally wrong, but they're probably off by five percent or ten percent in some cases. So, I call it "magic money computer". Any computer that can make money out of thin air. That's magic money.
Cruz: So how does that work?
Musk: It just issues payments.
Cruz: And you said there's something like 11 of these computers at Treasury that are sending out trillions in payments?
Musk: They're mostly at Treasury, and some are at HHS(Health and Human Services), some at... one or two at State, some at DoD(Department of Defense). I think we found out 14 magic money computers. They just send money out of nothing.
