Elon Musk has reportedly locked U.S. government officials out of critical databases containing personal information on millions of federal employees, a move linked to his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This action, which follows a push for deferred resignations of federal employees, raises concerns about Musk's growing influence over federal systems and potential access to sensitive data. The situation escalated when a top Treasury official resigned after refusing to grant Musk's team access to the government's payment system, which processes $6 trillion annually.
Elon Musk criticized alleged "fraudulent" Treasury payments as reports emerged that DOGE, the team he leads, gained access to the federal payment system. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly granted DOGE full access, raising concerns about oversight and potential conflicts of interest. Musk's initiative aims to cut government spending, having already saved over $1 billion by eliminating certain programs.
David A. Lebryk, a senior Treasury official with a long tenure, resigned following a dispute with Elon Musk's DOGE team over access to sensitive payment systems that manage over $6 trillion annually for government services. The conflict raises concerns about the potential politicization of a system traditionally viewed as nonpartisan. Mark Mazur emphasized that the payment system's role is strictly mechanical, focused on disbursing funds without political influence.
David A. Lebryk, the highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department, is set to leave following a dispute with allies of Elon Musk over access to sensitive government payment systems. This clash highlights the ongoing tensions between Musk's team and federal agencies as they seek greater control over government operations. Lebryk, who has a long-standing reputation within the Treasury, had been acting secretary briefly before Scott Bessent's confirmation.
