Summary
Hundreds of protesters, joined by Democratic lawmakers, rallied outside the Treasury Department, condemning Elon Musk’s “hostile takeover” of federal financial systems.
Lawmakers, including Maxine Waters and Ayanna Pressley, attempted to enter the building but were turned away.
Treasury officials later claimed that Musk’s team had “read-only” access to coded payment data, but concerns persist over security risks and misuse of taxpayer information.
Protesters fear Musk’s influence is part of a broader effort to dismantle government institutions and exploit federal systems for financial gain.
I hope their protest involves they stop approving his fascist political agenda
They keep passing laws, they keep approving appointments
If they want to actually stop this then they need to stop being complicit
Holy shit! A Schumer sighting!
Like the mighty cicadas, he can be seen once or twice a decade.
Sorry, but none of this matters. Republicans are all powerful now. They have the White House, the House, the Senate, SCOTUS, the Fed, the Treasury. For the next two years, they can do whatever they want and act however they like. The voters walked right into this with eyes wide open. I don’t want to hear the excuses and cries. America is just getting what it voted for.
This feels like it will help.
