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.
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.
We’re now in an age where the authorative voice of the Treasury Department is just straight up lying about its own actions. This is new territory.
They’re terrified of the consequences of going against the Trump administration. I kind of don’t blame them and I kind of do.
They’ve commandeered the USDS or US Digital Service. A department to improve Federal websites. They created DOGE under USDS.
