Summary
David Lebryk, the longest-serving career official at the U.S. Treasury, is resigning after a conflict with Elon Musk’s allies over access to a key government payment system.
Musk’s team has sought control of the system, which distributes $6 trillion annually in Social Security, Medicare, federal salaries, and other payments.
Traditionally, only career officials handle it.
Lebryk’s departure raises concerns, as he served under multiple administrations, including Trump’s, and was widely respected for his nonpartisan leadership.
His exit signals growing instability in financial governance.
He wants/expects to be the world’s first trillionaire, and races himself to be the fastest getting there.
To more than double his current net worth quickly he needs to control all aspects of the flow of his money, legit or through shady deals and can not have any onlookers.
So the best way is TO BE the all controlling influence in all monetary systems.
