Reject Musk/DOGE request for access to Treasury payment systems

To: Sen. Tillis, Rep. Moore, Sen. Budd

From: A verified voter in Charlotte, NC

February 2

Please search & read all news articles for “Elon Musk Treasury” ASAP and convene a weekend EMERGENCY press conference on all outlets to wake up the nation and immediately stop this takeover. CNN: How an arcane Treasury Department office became ground zero in the war over federal spending Fortune: Elon Musk’s DOGE given access to a trove of unclassified data by Donald Trump WaPo: Senior U.S. official exits after rift with Musk allies over payment system *NOW IS THE TIME. Take all risks -- re-election won't matter if we can't stop this. Regular people (like Indivisible) can't speak publicly - they will be targeted and rounded up. It has to be you and your elected peers, because you are already known. Tell people what is happening in very clear terms.* • Musk’s staff demanded access to the Treasury’s sensitive payment systems for the flow of more than $6 trillion annually (Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, federal salaries, and payments to government contractors and grant recipients). These payment systems have usually only been accessed by a small number of career officials in the Bureau of Fiscal Service. • Musk has been trying to get access since the election, per the Washington Post , and continued his requests after Trump’s inauguration. They are trying to hijack payments from the government and hold us all hostage. Maybe it includes your paycheck. This is a hostile takeover of our government, not from the inside like a Trojan Horse, but from the outside like a wrecking ball. Will they clean out everyone's bank accounts? Will I ever see my tax refunds I am owed? PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. And it’s not just Treasury: • Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). • At OPM, Musk’s aides were discovered accessing systems, including a vast database known as the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI), which contains sensitive information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, performance appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and length of service for government employees. WHEN EMPLOYEES SPOKE OUT, MUSK’S AIDES LOCKED CIVIL SERVANTS OUT OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND OFFICES, WITH REPORTS OF PERSONAL ITEMS BEING SEARCHED. Please act boldly and immediately. The American people deserve assurances that Treasury's payment operations will continue unimpeded and shielded from improper influence. I encourage you to uphold your Constitutional duty and decisively deny Musk/DOGE's overreach into the custodianship of systems indispensable to effective governance. Safeguarding these mechanisms is paramount to maintaining public trust. Please demand answers from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for why personnel affiliated with Elon Musk have sought access to a highly sensitive Treasury Department payment system.
