People working for, or with, Elon Musk are reportedly taking over the inner workings of multiple government agencies, including the Office of Personnel

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.

        No one voted for Elon Musk.

        We apparently voted for someone that would hand the power of government over to musk.

          Yep, Trump doesn’t actually want to be president he just wanted to stay out of prison. Elon Musk didn’t spend $260 million to get Trump re-elected. He paid $260 million for a shadow Presidency.

        Well, like Kamala, we don’t get to choose anymore.

        Think of the worst case scenario, then multiply that by two, and you’ll have a realistic idea of the future.

        Seems as though ignoring reality when voting has led to some surprising results.
