Am I to understand that a person named “bigballs” is not entirely good?
A member of billionaire Elon Musk's DOGE team who went by the moniker "bigballs" once "provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters."

This is also why courts are useful, because you will get into trouble—not all the time, by a lot of the time—if you lie in front of a judge
I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.
Elon Musk says "10% of federal expenditures" are due to people having fake Social Security numbers, claiming it is "half a trillion dollars."
