Summary

Elon Musk vowed to cancel government grants after allegedly gaining access to the US Treasury’s payments system, triggering the abrupt resignation of a senior official.

Musk, who leads Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claimed his team found Treasury officials approving payments without scrutiny.

Democrats, including Sen. Ron Wyden, raised alarms over Musk’s influence on federal funds. Treasury access concerns intensified after Trump ally Michael Flynn posted grant payments online.

Musk’s authority to halt payments remains unclear, and the Treasury has not responded to inquiries.

    Can we please send this fuckwit back to where he comes from? Like, the seventh circle of Hell?

      The 8th circle might be a better fit, especially in the 8th Bolgia for councellors of fraud.

      We don’t want him. I propose shooting him out of a cannon into the sun

      Is it appropriate to say something about sending him back to a continent of origin or is the whole sentence racist no matter the subject?

        I would say it’s fine to use his and his ilk’s language against him, but I wouldn’t force Muskrat upon any country.

      We would need power to do that. How do we get power? Don’t expect anyone else to do it for you.
