  “Musk gave no evidence to support his claim, and information from the city of New York indicated that money it’s received to care for migrants was appropriated by Congress and allocated to the city last year by FEMA.”

  ”It was not clear where the $59 million figure came from, and officials did not provide details to AP. "

  Totally unsubstantiated claims by a prolific liar should not be trusted.

  Garcia said the city has never paid luxury rates. The vast majority are outside Manhattan, and the government has paid on average $152 a night for rooms, according to a 2024 city comptroller report. In comparison, 5-star hotels in Manhattan for the coming weekend run from $400 a night to well over $1,000.

  The “luxury suite” part of the story is definitely false.
