Musk walked away with pretty much the entire contents of any and everything in the US databases and the keys to keep going in for more at will. Despite the fact my fancy silver hat is at the cleaners, I have no doubt he could trace my posts on DU directly to my address if he wanted (or rather his hacker dudes) and could probably tell me the last time I bought shampoo.

My very humble opinion is that was his payment from Trump for making sure "we have the votes" for 2024. It was never about cutting waste and fraud. Not a single "fraudster" was arrested.
