Summary
Elon Musk’s team is reportedly gaining control over key U.S. government operations.
His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials have clashed with Treasury staff over access to federal payment systems, which handle $6 trillion annually.
Reports indicate Musk aides have locked civil servants out of government databases and are reviewing tech operations across agencies.
Originally intended as an external advisory body, DOGE was instead integrated into the government by Trump’s executive order, giving Musk a direct role in federal operations.
We’re in the minority because most folks aren’t bothering to pay attention.
Or they just blithely assume that it will all go back to normal in four years and choose to ignore it.
We’re all gonna suffer the consequences of the majority believing that it can’t happen here
Financially secure white guys keep telling me to hunker down until it blows over.
