Summary
Sen. Ron Wyden warned that Elon Musk’s team, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was granted “full access” to a U.S. Treasury payments system handling $6 trillion annually.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent approved the access, sparking concerns over national security risks and conflicts of interest due to Musk’s business ties with China.
Wyden highlighted potential threats to Social Security, Medicare, and contractor payments.
The move follows Musk’s broader efforts to overhaul government operations under President Trump’s directive for federal spending cuts.
The Treasury declined to comment.
From what I remember musk doesn’t even have security clearance for spacex top security and was under investigation by the pentagon for contact with foreign governments.
I’m convinced this is why he tied his wagon to trump, and is trying to use this as an excuse to get access to and sabotage the dirt on him.
Sounds like he’ll fit right in with this administration
