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.
