Musk probably gives access to the US Finance Ministry of Finance
According to the US newspaper “New York Times”, Elon Musk should now be able to access the personal data of millions of Americans. This also includes his competitors.
The billionaire and Tesla boss Elon Musk and his team for the newly created department of government efficiency of the White House have received access to the US Ministry of Finance. This is reported by the “New York Times”. The system sends payments worth more than 6 trillion dollars on behalf of the federal authorities annually and has the personal data of millions of Americans who receive social security payments, tax repayments and other funds from the government.
The democratic US senator Ron Wyden announced on the Bluesky online platform that according to his information, the newly appointed US Finance Minister Scott Bessent Musk’s department granted full access to the payment system. “Social security and medicare benefits, grants, payments to the state’s contractual partners, including those who compete directly with Musk’s own companies. Everything,” wrote the leading Democrat in the Senate Finance Committee.
Elon Musk raises severe allegations – without evidence
The Department of Government Efficiency is not a federal authority, but a unit set up on Trump’s arrangement that works from the White House. Elon Musk wrote on his platform X that officials from the Ministry of Finance have been instructed to approve payments to “well -known fraudulent or terrorist groups”. Musk did not indicate evidence of this.
