Summary
The Trump administration has agreed to temporarily limit Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Treasury Department payment systems amid a lawsuit by union members and retirees.
The suit argues that DOGE’s access violates privacy laws, prompting restrictions pending further hearings. Musk leads DOGE to cut government inefficiency, but critics warn of overreach.
While two DOGE employees, Tom Krause and Marko Elez, retain limited, read-only access, Democrats strongly oppose Musk’s role.
Even giving them read-only access is blatantly criminal and a massive security risk, but anyone who believes they’re really restricting access even that much is a fool.
Likely it’s too late and they have a back door.
President Musk isn’t going to like this.
Not one bit.
