First, this shocking FORTUNE
story about Elon Musk and his illegal access to classified, sensitive, and
personal information with this headline:
“Musk’s DOGE gets access to classified USAID info after
security chiefs tried to block move – then were put on leave, officials say”
The disgusting, evil, and nasty Elon Musk must be prosecuted – he has no security clearance, no security access to classified, or sensitive personal information or data, and had no reason to gain the information, and he even is not a valid nor legal government official. Trump and Musk have effectively found a backdoor way to seize Congress’s power to appropriate funds for the executive branch — a move that would make it easier to cut the budget but also challenge basic democratic norms.
Don Moynihan, a public policy professor at
the University of Michigan said: “If Musk can single-handedly shut off spending
for one government agency, he can do it for any another. He can shut off
payment of federal employee salaries. He can shut down federal contracts. It is
an extraordinary abuse of public power.”

Then this second shocking story from AP News relates to the above article and current Trump & Musk craziness:
“Elon Musk’s DOGE commission gains access to sensitive
Treasury payment systems”
WASHINGTON — The DOGE run by Trump’s billionaire adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security, and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation.
The move
by DOGE, a Trump administration task force assigned to find ways to fire
federal workers, cut programs and slash federal regulations, means it could
have wide leeway to access important taxpayer data, among other things.
NOTED: The New York Times first reported the
news of the group’s access of the massive federal payment system. The two
people who spoke to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to speak publicly.
The ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Ron Wyden
(R-OR) sent a letter to Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressing
concern: “That officials associated
with Musk may have intended to access these payment systems to illegally
withhold payments to any number of programs. To put it bluntly, these payment
systems simply cannot fail, and any politically motivated meddling in them
risks severe damage to our country and the economy.”
The news also comes after Treasury’s acting Deputy Secretary David Lebryk resigned after more than 30 years of service. Lebryk resigned his position after Musk and his DOGE organization requested access to sensitive Treasury data.
In his letter to the
employees he said: “Our service
performs some of the most vital functions in government. Our work may be unknown
to most of the public, but doesn’t mean it isn’t exceptionally important. I am
grateful for having been able to work alongside the nation’s best and most
talented operations staff.”
Musk responded to the departure of Lebryk on his X page saying: “The DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once.”
NOTED: Musk DID NOT provide proof of that claim. I
suppose he is covered by what Trump labeled him based on this story:
Trump makes Elon Musk
a “Special Government Employee” amid accusations of takeover.
My 2 Cents: These articles and the Trump-Musk moves are illegal and
unlawful.
Lots of legal
cases are forthcoming to nail them both. We need to stop them and stop them
now.
The nation’s
future is at stake and many lives, too. I fear the worst is yet to come.
Thanks for
stopping by.
