Summary
Despite official denials, a technologist from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had “write access” to critical U.S. Treasury payment systems.
Marko Elez, a former SpaceX and X employee, was granted admin privileges to systems processing trillions in federal payments. Reports suggest he made “extensive changes” before resigning.
Concerns escalated after Treasury officials falsely claimed DOGE only had “read access.”
The controversy follows the resignation of a senior Treasury official who opposed DOGE’s access, amid allegations of Musk associates interfering with USAID payments.
