Investigate Musk's attempted access to secure Treasury payment systems

I am deeply concerned by the reports that personnel affiliated with Elon Musk have sought unauthorized access to highly sensitive U.S. Treasury payment systems. These systems handle trillions of dollars in critical payments like Social Security, Medicare, tax credits, and government contracts. Allowing political operatives with troubling conflicts of interest to potentially interfere with or mismanage these systems risks severe economic damage and threatens the full faith and credit of the United States. It is unacceptable that Musk, who operates a major business in China and was previously denied a security clearance due to national security risks, may have sought to gain improper access to these vital financial networks. This raises alarming cybersecurity implications given China's extensive efforts to steal sensitive U.S. data. Musk seeking this access could be considered an act of domestic terrorism. Swift action is needed to investigate these disturbing allegations and ensure the integrity of the Treasury's payment infrastructure. Our citizens rely on the proper functioning of these systems for their livelihoods and financial well-being. Rigorous vetting, strict access controls, and robust security measures must be implemented to prevent any unauthorized meddling that could undermine confidence in our government's ability to make critical payments on time. The risks of inaction are too severe - I urge you to use your full authority to address this threat without delay. You and every other member of congress took an oath to uphold the Constitution and defend democracy. Do it. If you cannot, it's time for military and police intervention. They have also taken oaths that need to be honored.
