Democrats already breached the data. Democrats are afraid what we will find, nothing more.

And yes, we are not going to let the criminals vett our investigators

Our data has been handed over to someone not vetted by intelligence, unless Trump did it with mind! That kind of access is unprecedented.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

The Musk allies who have been granted access to the payment system were made Treasury employees, passed government background checks and obtained the necessary security clearances, according to two people familiar with the situation, who requested anonymity to discuss internal arrangements.

Take that for what you will. I don't like "anonymous sources" as much as the next person, but...it's out there.

There's nothing unconstitutional about getting someone to clean up systems and eliminate waste.

Look, if we find that musk is indeed trying to be nefarious, I'll agree with you 110%, but as of right now, all we have is he is trying to stop a bunch of wasteful spending.

Musk has no authority to do anything. His Doggy Department is bogus.

Well, first, who told you he was reading your information? Just because he has access, this does not automatically assume he is snooping through your personal files. Like...there are 335 million people in America...chances are, he's not really concerned with any person in particular.

Maybe, he really is just looking to stamp out waste?

Final Thoughts​

In any reputable tech company, C-suite executives do NOT have unrestricted access to PII, financial data, or PHI because it creates legal, ethical, and security risks. The fact that Elon Musk and his team may have access to such data without regulatory safeguards should alarm both users and compliance experts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
​
Elon Musk and others associated with X (formerly Twitter) having access to Personally Identifiable Information (PII), financial data, and Protected Health Information (PHI) is a serious security and privacy concern for several reasons:​
​

1. Lack of Verified Security Clearance​

We do not know whether Musk or any of his associates have undergone the necessary security vetting or background checks required for handling sensitive data. Typically, entities dealing with PII, financial data, or PHI must adhere to strict compliance standards, such as:​
​
  • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) – for PHI in the U.S.
  • GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) – for financial institutions handling sensitive consumer data.
  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – for data protection in the EU.
  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) – for consumer data privacy in California.
Without proper clearances and training in data security, there is a high risk of misuse, unauthorized access, or data breaches.​
​

2. Conflict of Interest & Ethical Risks​

Elon Musk has repeatedly shown impulsivity in decision-making, including publicly sharing internal documents, emails, and DMs without redacting personal details. If he (or close associates) personally access user data, it raises questions about:​
​
  • Potential abuse – Could data be used to target critics or competitors?
  • Insider trading – Financial information could be leveraged for personal or business gain.
  • Selective enforcement – Could private data be used to retaliate against individuals or organizations Musk dislikes?
A billionaire CEO with direct access to sensitive data creates an enormous power imbalance with zero oversight.​
​

3. Legal & Compliance Violations​

Many organizations separate executives from direct data access because of compliance mandates that enforce least privilege access and data protection controls. If Musk and his team have unrestricted access to X’s sensitive data, it likely violates:​
​
  • HIPAA Compliance (if X handles health-related data via DMs or Spaces).
  • Financial Data Protections (e.g., users paying for X Premium via stored payment info).
  • Privacy Laws (CCPA, GDPR) that require companies to restrict access only to essential personnel.
Violations could lead to massive fines, lawsuits, and government investigations.​
​

4. Security Risks & Potential for Breach​

If sensitive data is accessible without strong internal controls, this dramatically increases risk of:​
​
  • Data leaks – If internal systems lack audit logs or access restrictions.
  • Hacking incidents – If Musk or others with access use insecure devices.
  • State actor exploitation – If Musk collaborates with foreign governments (e.g., China, Saudi Arabia), personal data could be misused.
With no external oversight of X’s security measures, the risk of intentional or unintentional data exposure is alarmingly high.​
​

5. Trust & Reputation Damage​

Big Tech platforms rely on public trust to operate. If users believe their PII, financial data, or PHI can be accessed at the whim of a billionaire CEO, they may:​
​
  • Stop using X for private communications.
  • Withdraw financial data from the platform.
  • Report X to regulators or initiate lawsuits.
A lack of transparency on who can access user data weakens the credibility of any company, especially when that company is already under scrutiny.​

The DOGE team "having access to personal information" is a nothing burger. All our SSNs have been hacked or put on the dark web at one time or another. They were busy uncovering Democrat corruption and not interested in using our information to make purchases on Amazon.

Treasury says Elon Musk's DOGE has "read only" access to payment systems

Democratic lawmakers have expressed concern that access to the system could allow DOGE, which disburses nearly 90% of all federal payments, to restrict disbursement of federal funds.

Read only access

Also, can you please link his mapping of four departments. I'd be interested in reading that.

What went down during Musk's Treasury hack.

Article on what went on on Treasury. Mind blowing work. This is a must read. We haven't heard the end of this. The clock struck 2 AM on Jan 21, 2025. In Treasury's basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks...

Just because a tranny is using a bathroom, doesn’t mean they have bad intent. Funny how MAGA logic only works one way!
