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.
Only democrats are fussing. That is why this shit gets a pass.
Oh just wait until cheques stop coming, plenty of Republicans will have quite the wake up call as tons of then thought Trump was only going after “the bad ones”.
The assumption of the right is if only democrats are upset, he must be hurting the right people more.
