Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Sparks Treasury Drama: Senators Cry Foul Over “Read-Only” Access
The US Treasury Department has assured Congress that a “special government employee” linked to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has only “read-only” access to crucial federal payment systems. Despite concerns from Senators Wyden and Warren, Musk’s DOGE team maintains limited access, stirring political tensions.
