Private sector access to critical financial systems threatens public security
To: Rep. Frost, Sen. Scott, Sen. Moody
From: A constituent in Orlando, FL
February 5
Elon Musk, a private citizen with no government oversight or accountability, should not have access to the critical federal payment infrastructure like the Treasury's systems that handle Social Security, tax refunds, and other benefits for millions of Americans. Granting a billionaire CEO this level of control over essential financial operations poses severe risks to the public's wellbeing and security. The decision to consider allowing Musk's companies to integrate with these systems demonstrates a concerning lack of regard for proper governmental processes and transparency. Maintaining the integrity and impartiality of institutions managing vital citizen services must be the utmost priority. Immediate reassurance that no unilateral, unsupervised private sector access will be permitted to these essential public systems is imperative to uphold trust in the government's ability to responsibly steward taxpayer funds and data.
