Summary
Elon Musk’s aggressive push to control the Treasury payment system is stirring chaos in Washington. His DOGE team now seeks access to trillions in funds.
The move followed career official David Lebryk’s resignation after he refused to provide Musk’s aides the system’s keys. Officials were replaced abruptly.
Critics warn Musk’s control could completely freeze funding for programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and SNAP, endangering working families.
The strategy appears aimed at cutting federal spending and securing corporate tax breaks, though most Americans strongly oppose an unelected billionaire’s interference in government.

People like this are giving up life long careers to stand up for their principles and what is right.
@d00ery @MicroWave Truthfully, I think most of America is unaware of just how expensive these changes are.
Most Americans are not paying attention and won’t until it hurts them directly.
