Summary
Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have been granted access to the U.S. Treasury’s federal payment system, raising concerns about security and misuse.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent approved the move after a top Treasury official was ousted for resisting.
Critics warn Musk could freeze payments to government programs or manipulate federal contracts.
The move coincides with DOGE’s takeover of the Office of Personnel Management.
Experts call it a dangerous power grab, as Musk holds no official government position.
Why are we coming up with nonsense scare tactic arguments? He’s obviously just going to divert federal funds to himself via his companies.
He has no need for a bunch of shitters’ SSN when he would just open himself to the greatest class action in history because it would take about 100 million of us to make him any significant wealth.
