Elon Musk's Doge team has been granted full access to the federal payment system, which manages over $6 trillion in annual cash flow and contains sensitive personal data of millions of Americans. This access was confirmed by Senator Ron Wyden, who expressed concerns about the implications of such a move, particularly regarding national security and potential conflicts of interest due to Musk's business ties with China. The arrangement was facilitated by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, following a period of contention within the Treasury Department, including the retirement of a senior official who opposed the access. Wyden warned that the system's integrity is critical and that any politically motivated interference could harm the economy and national security. The Doge team, which includes Tom Krause, CEO of Cloud Software Group, now has the ability to access sensitive data, raising alarms about the potential misuse of this information and the risks it poses to cybersecurity.
