Summary
Despite official denials, a technologist from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had “write access” to critical U.S. Treasury payment systems.
Marko Elez, a former SpaceX and X employee, was granted admin privileges to systems processing trillions in federal payments. Reports suggest he made “extensive changes” before resigning.
Concerns escalated after Treasury officials falsely claimed DOGE only had “read access.”
The controversy follows the resignation of a senior Treasury official who opposed DOGE’s access, amid allegations of Musk associates interfering with USAID payments.
‘member when stuff like this was treason?
When America had any sense of shame or self preservation?
Can you keep it down? I’m getting mine at any cost while devoting an even greater amount of energy to ensuring those below me suffer harshly.
Why does media keep legitimizing this treating it as anything other than an illegal act, simply because these fucking idiots used the word “department”.
Its not a real fucking department.
Because the talking heads have bosses and they’re loving this shit.
They’re terrified of the consequences of going against the Trump administration. I kind of don’t blame them and I kind of do.
What would happen if every working class American decided to join the ultra rich and not pay taxes this year?
Most people already have and filling would only get them their refunds. Unless you mean 2025 taxes
Gonna stiff my local taxes the $10 or so they actually have to collect. Muahahaha.
You would need a unified effort to do that, and it wouldn’t work. Also even if the IRS chooses not to go after people, Musk would have some goons to do it and he would ‘authorize’ them to use lethal force if necessary. Given that his goons would be less qualified than most police (and that is a scary thought) there will be enough bad encounters to scare most people into submission.
Wtf is a “technologist”?
Extensive changes, huh? Why do I get the feeling those involved linking directly to foreign bank accounts?
