What The **** Is Going On With Elon Musk At The Treasury Department???

Read the article. "Sought access" does NOT mean that they had anything other than "read only" access, duh.

They have no need for access to this information. "read only" access is too much.

BULLSHIT.
You're just upset they are exposing corruption.
Buzz off, commie scum.

Trump has control of the Executive Branch and he wants to eliminate waste and save money.
Musk and his Whiz Kids are doing just that,

Republican policies aren't perfect but they are a lot better than democrat policies.

Absolute horseshit.

President Bush was responsible for the Great Recession. President Trump had the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression, because he handled Covid so terribly.

You can't be good at running a government when you hate the government.....and that has always been the biggest problem with the Republican Party -- they hate government. And because they hate government, they completely suck at running a government.

Have you seen the stupid spending items from USAID? Trump and Musk are going to streamline the Federal government more like a business and less like a democrat cash cow. If you want to debate policies have at it. We'll see who is the better "critical thinker".

That's the problem....government is not a business. If that were true, then there would be no need for government.

The objective of government is to protect its citizens...not to maximize profits. When you try to run the government like one of Trump's and Musk's cut throat businesses, the little guy always gets shit on.

And by the way....Trump is taking years off your life. Your family's, too. He is completely dismantling the EPA and you will be breathing toxic air and drinking toxic water the rest of your life.

More idiocy. The Treasury system is a payment system. That is not where you look for waste.

If Musk wants to know where the "waste" is, he can talk to all the terrified, cowardly Repugs in Congress who will never say no to Trump.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Well...I guess you want you and your family to die a little younger.

Breathing toxic air and drinking toxic water is not a good thing...believe it or not.

"Owning the libs" ain't going to keep you MAGA imbeciles from getting cancer.

Well my wife died from cancer last month....so apparently you Dims didn't do anything to stop it.
Matter of fact you may have helped contribute to it by poisoning our water by setting off a bunch of chemical fires in Ohio and Kentucky last year.

Yeah, that must be it....not George W. Bush and Donald Trump completely destroying the EPA over the past 25 years. Both of them were easily the two worst environmental presidents in the history of this country.

You MAGA Repugs want more drilling and more poisonous air....then you pay higher "taxes" in other tragic ways.

Yet you folks are burning CA and setting off chemical fires everywhere.

STFU.

STFU.

Dude, those are called accidents and natural disasters. And since you Repug imbeciles don't care about climate change, you deserve a ton of blame for the LA fires.

You're a fucking dishonest piece of shit.

Accidents don't involve arsonists.

Newsome made sure that LA didn't have any water to put out the fires.......so I don't call that an accident.
And the fire in East Palestine Ohio was lit on purpose.

Elon Musk apparently wants total control of the Treasury Department's government payment systems....probably so he can empty the U.S. Government's coffers for himself, Trump, and his buddies.

Republicans in Congress.....you all are getting NOTHING out of this! This is not a "win" for you imbeciles. You all better stand up to Trump and Musk and this crazy shit now. This is not what your constituents voted for. If you are going to just let Musk and Trump violate the Constitution and have total control of the government's budget and funds, then you all should just ****ing go home.

And all you Trump voters out there....you will have ZERO sympathy from me when your mom, your dad, and your grandparents don't get their Social Security and Medicare payments any longer. You brought this on yourselves!!


From the Washington Post. --

The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department is departing after a clash with allies of billionaire Elon Musk over access to sensitive payment systems, according to three people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private talks.

David A. Lebryk, who served in nonpolitical roles at Treasury for several decades, announced his retirement Friday in an email to colleagues obtained by The Washington Post. President Donald Trump named Lebryk as acting secretary upon taking office last week. Lebryk had a dispute with Musk’s surrogates over access to the payment system the U.S. government uses to disburse trillions of dollars every year, the people said. The exact nature of the disagreement was not immediately clear, they said.

Officials affiliated with Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” have been asking since after the election for access to the system, the people said — requests that were reiterated more recently, including after Trump’s inauguration.

1. Actually Clinton's Community Reinvestment Act, whereby unqualified borrowers were given Federally backed loans set the stage.

2. That led to the subprime mortgage crisis when those bad loans led to the collapse of security backed mortgages. One of my favorite movies is "Too Big to Fail" showing how close we came to total collapse.

3. Bush and Republicans were happy to see more people getting mortgages, which didn't help.

4. Government spends too much and is too inefficient. Trump and DOGE are doing God's work. Little guys need to find a job and pay taxes.

5. The EPA has no effect on my life. My air and water are managed by my STATE agencies.

Obviously, you aren't smart enough to refute any of it.

Yeah, shit-for-brains....Fox News doesn't talk about any of this, so I must be making it all up.

Just stick to your sick MAGA QAnon religion and shut the fuck up.

Any idiot who blames Trump for the shutdown of pretty much the entire world economy because of a virus intentionally set loose on the world by China is delusional and not living in the world of reality... You're consumed with hate and you can't see through that hate. The leftist, fake news media , rules your little pee brain....you're Pathetic.... Chinese shill

Trump praised the leader of China in early 2020 for how China handled the Covid outbreak. That is a fact, you can look it up. Fucking imbecile MAGA dickweed.

Trump said the virus would magically go away. He also got at least 150,000 Americans killed (most of them Trump supporters) in 2020 by lying to everyone and saying the virus was not deadly.

Only a total fucking idiot would want to see someone this incompetent and stupid back in the White House. Past is prologue.

Fuck Trump and fuck you.

A Federal judge agreed with me this morning. --

A federal judge issued an emergency order early Saturday prohibiting Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service from accessing personal and financial data on millions of Americans kept at the Treasury Department, noting the possibility for irreparable harm.

U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer’s decision also ordered Musk and his team to “immediately destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from the Treasury Department’s records and systems, if any.”

The conditions are in place until another judge hears arguments on the matter on Feb. 14.

The ruling came hours after attorneys general from 19 states sued to stop Musk’s team from dealing with sensitive files during its review of federal payment systems — an unprecedented effort that skirted firm security measures that permitted access to systems only to trained Treasury employees.
