Elon Musk's surrogates have requested access to critical systems used by the U.S. Treasury for processing Social Security, Medicare, and other federal payments. This development has raised alarms as it follows President Trump's directive to enhance government efficiency. Musk's efforts to become more involved in federal spending management coincide with his plans for X, formerly Twitter, to facilitate payments on the platform. Tensions escalated as Musk's aides reportedly restricted access to the Office of Personnel Management's systems, leading to concerns over transparency and potential overreach in government spending oversight.
Musk's team has demanded access to U.S. Treasury systems critical for distributing federal benefits and has created unease among legal experts regarding government spending oversight.
The clash between Musk's surrogates and Treasury official David Lebryk occurs amid Trump's push for efficiency in federal spending, raising questions about accountability.
