Elon Musk paid TSA wages.
The claim that Elon Musk paid TSA wages is inaccurate. According to multiple sources, while Elon Musk offered to pay the salaries of TSA agents during a government shutdown in 2026, the offer was deemed not legally feasible. The responsibility for federal salaries, including those of TSA agents, remains with the US government. Thus, the claim is refuted by credible sources.
