Elon Musk May Have Your Social Security Number

The billionaire and his DOGE agents were reportedly granted full access to the Treasury’s federal payments system, and nobody knows to what end.

Summary

Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have been granted access to the U.S. Treasury’s federal payment system, raising concerns about security and misuse.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent approved the move after a top Treasury official was ousted for resisting.

Critics warn Musk could freeze payments to government programs or manipulate federal contracts.

The move coincides with DOGE’s takeover of the Office of Personnel Management.

Experts call it a dangerous power grab, as Musk holds no official government position.

    What indicates that it’s only about Americans

    Aside from the headline, the very first sentence of the article.

    The world’s richest man may now have access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States

    But we both know you’re just playing dumb and you obviously knew it from the headline, because you obviously didn’t bother to read the article.

    And of course there’s the article summary in the body of the post that’s blatantly about the US.
