Summary

Elon Musk claims his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is shutting down payments to federal contractors, including a Lutheran charity, asserting it is eliminating corruption.

This suggests DOGE has access to Treasury’s payment systems, though officials have not confirmed the extent.

Senator Ron Wyden warned that DOGE may interfere with Social Security, Medicare, and government contracts.

Musk also called USAID “a criminal organization” that should “die,” amid DOGE’s growing influence over federal financial operations.

    Do you really think this is going to play out in a court? They don’t care about the law and are actively plowing through them at will.

      Yeah I don’t see LockMart and Raytheon taking that sitting down. Musk thinks he has power, he doesn’t really. The MIC runs American finance.
