Which is more risk free: cash or money market funds that invest in government treasuries?


I heard someone once mention that money market funds that invest in government treasuries aren’t exactly risk free.

But they strike me as more risk free than holding cash in a broker that could potentially go bankrupt themselves.

Which is considered more risk free? Just straight cash or a money market fund like VUSXX that invests in government securities?
