Musk is actually more correct than not on this one . . . the reporting on this announcement was terrible. It's not federal money; it's simply a "pledge" by these companies to spend that much over an indefinite amount of time. At most a quarter of it will come to fruition. Softbank in particular is notorious for making splashy announcements which don't end up happening.

I don't even trust Microsoft anymore. With Windows 11 there's so much bloatware including their COpilot chatbot that constantly spies on you and collects your data. If I ever do get Windows 11 it will be strictly for work. I may have to learn and switch to Linux. I won't play long with this Robocop/Bladerunner dystopia these tech bros want.

I used Windows computers for years. I've been happy to have a Mac.

Yeah, people were calling it a Trump plan when it was just the companies trying to get more attention when they announced their intention to do something that they would have done regardless of how the election went. Musk, of course, denounced it because these companies are his competitors.
