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.
I give it a month tops before he catastrophically fucks up and breaks the entire system. Bonus points if the bureaucrats start burning paper documents in small bonfires for catharsis.
He’s probably already just unplugging servers.
Thats why I said a month at most, his incompetent tendencies and his sycophants will break anything more advanced than a potato given enough time.
