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.
Yup. People seem to still seem to believe that public opinion will somehow stop these assholes. It won’t, it’ll just get them to sic their fan boys on whatever source is reporting that opinion and push the propaganda more.
