The reported granting of access to the U.S. Treasury Department's payment system to Elon Musk's team raises serious concerns about potential conflicts of interest and abuse of power. This system handles trillions of dollars in payments each year, including Social Security benefits, tax refunds, and payments to government contractors. Giving a private individual like Musk, whose companies could directly benefit, the ability to access this sensitive data is an alarming breach of protocol that undermines public trust. There must be strict safeguards and oversight to prevent exploitation of this system for personal or corporate gain. I urge you to investigate how this access was granted and implement stronger protections to shield the payment system from undue influence or misuse by private parties. Preserving the integrity of government operations is paramount.
