> US rates are far lower than the EU's.

This is a lie. And no, VAT is not tariff. And no, Trumps formula does not measure tariffs.

> efforts to uncover and stop corruption in the US Federal government.

There were no such efforts. There were efforts to knee cap both transparency and agencies that used to act against corruption. Trumps previous administration was drowning in corruption and there is no reason to think this one is different. Musk is effectively giving government contracts to himself.
