Elon Musk’s Doge team granted ‘full access’ to federal payment system

[Tommy Tainant]

“One of the fears about granting entry to the system to a freewheeling outfit controlled by Musk is that he could use it to block payments to a large number of federal programs as part of his mission to slash and burn the US government.”

hopefully we will uncover stupid spending that we dont want or need

He has access to everything. not just goct contracts. Does that not concern you ?

Elon Musk’s Doge team granted ‘full access’ to federal payment system

Trump’s treasury secretary gives the world’s richest person entry to one of the most sensitive US government databases

www.theguardian.com

Elon Musk’s government-slashing crew, the “department of government efficiency”, has been given access to the federal payment system, exposing the sensitive personal data of millions of Americans as well as details of public contractors who compete directly with Musk’s own businesses, an influential US senator has confirmed.

Ron Wyden, a Democratic senator from Oregon and the ranking member of the Senate finance committee, posted on Bluesky that sources had confirmed to him that the Treasury’s highly sensitive database had been opened up to the tech billionaire and his team.

This is a useful downpayment to musk for his trump bribe. On a simple level he can see details of all govt contracts and their cash value. He can also see what they bid for contracts.

What a windfall for the fat faced nazi. It makes his trump purchase look like small beer.

This robbery is happening while we are all looking at trumps fantastical tariff absurdity.

Maga need not respond to this as it will be beyond your understanding.

Lefty loons pissed because Uncle Sugar won't be paying the grift anymore. I've seen the US Army pay thousands for computer hardware that I could have got off shelf for a fraction of the cost.

You think that is going to change under Trump?

Oh dear, you folks have got it all backwards.

Probably not I don't trust big government no matter who's in charge. But you loons will still piss and moan with what little Trump does cut.

He has security clearance for the access, like hundreds of other people.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

He has more respect for an illegal scumbag criminal than a legal U.S. citizen.

Lisa you do know that his family was arrested in Canada for being Hitler supporters during the war?
Does that not bother you ?

 

[MarathonMike]

The dude is not even an American yet comes into an unelected position and uses his immense wealth to impress his BFF and be granted executive level power.

This is cronyism at its worst.

Our government is loaded with "Americans" who have sold us out. I think it's awesome that the most successful businessman in history is reviewing how the USAID doles out our money.

Are his competitors also granted that access ?

Who's his DOGE competition? What a weird question

I do love Legos, but....why can't you simply answer my question?

Not as much as it bothers you

And you arent even an American

 

[struth]

No, why should it?

What really concerned me was when Xiden and Harris had access to everything. In particular because they ended up having to pardon so many dems and their familes.

Do you know that Musk & Trump just shut down USAID? Musk is saving the US at least $1b a day on the way to saving $2b.

Musk is a US citizen.

And Joseph Kennedy was a Nazi supporter, and yet we Jews voted for his son. We don’t hold people responsible for what their ancestors did.

Great news. When the grifters at USAID would not allow Trump’s people access, as they needed time to hide and destroy the evidence of what they’ve been doing, he shut them down.

Tommy also forgets how many Irish Republicans were quietly rooting for Hitler during WWII.

Without Daddy's Money, the RichKid Reich Would be Nobodies

Heirs shouldn't benefit from it, either. People have half an attitude about this. The bootlickers even refused to take money from Ken Lay's estate, which was owed for his crimes. They said, "Why should we punish the heirs, who didn't cheat the lenders out of the money?"

If logic was allowed about our serfish attitudes, the heirs shouldn't benefit from not only their father's crimes, but even from his legitimately earned wealth, which they did nothing to produce.
