Top Treasury Official Announces Resignation — Comes at the Same Time Elon Musk and DOGE Team Discover Treasury Is Funding Terrorist Groups

David Lebryk, the top-ranking career U.S. Treasury Department official, will leave his post where he has been a top official for years.

Elon Musk and the DOGE team are currently examining the treasury payment systems.

Lebryk clashed with Musk over access to a “sensitive system” used to pay over $6 trillion a year in Social Security and Medicare benefits.

The results of the audit may not bode well for David Lebryk.

According to Elon Musk, the payment approval officers were told to ALWAYS approve payments, even to fraudulent groups or terrorist organizations!

“The DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once,” Musk wrote.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene weighed in on this bombshell revelation.

“What is the point in even having payment officers at the Treasury if they were directed to literally pay anyone and everyone no matter what?! Even terrorists! The outright rot that is being uncovered and ripped out of our government right now is shocking. Thank God!”

Lebryk reportedly stepped down following a clash with Trump adviser Elon Musk over payment system access, the Washington Post reported on Friday.

The news outlet reported:

The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department left the agency after a clash with allies of billionaire Elon Musk over access to sensitive payment systems, according to three people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private talks.
David A. Lebryk, who served in nonpolitical roles at Treasury for several decades, announced his retirement Friday in an email to colleagues that was obtained by The Washington Post. President Donald Trump named Lebryk acting secretary upon taking office last week. Lebryk had a dispute with Musk’s surrogates over access to the payment system the U.S. government uses to disburse trillions of dollars every year, the people said. The exact nature of the disagreement was not immediately clear, they said.
Officials affiliated with Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” have been asking since after the election for access to the system, the people said — requests that were reiterated more recently, including after Trump’s inauguration. Tom Krause, a Silicon Valley executive who has now been detailed to Treasury, is among those involved, the people said. Krause did not respond to requests for comment.

This comes after Scott Bessent was sworn in to serve as Trump’s Treasury secretary.

Meanwhile, Musk aides have locked career staff out of computer systems at the US government personnel agency.

Oh look, a countercoup

Audit the treasury? Can’t be done. It’s been screwed up for over
a 100 years.

Major Taylor Greene needs to be promoted to at least a full bird Colonel.

My word... Trump is NOT WASTING TIME this time around.

This is what our country desperately needed: someone to SHAKE IT UP and STOP the STUPID stuff.

I would hope that the forensics they've been doing will dig into Soros, Obama, and the international left who've been the enemy of Americans.

In general, I agree with the above. Consider the billions sent to Iran and UNRWA.

I maintain that US taxpayers are unknowingly funding all of the anti-American efforts around the globe. Foreign Aid, IMF, World Bank, WHO, UN, NATO, Domestic graft and corruption — in so many ways, money flows out of my pocket and into the pockets of people who want to kill me. Foreign and Domestic.

I think we all see already why the Deep State was so opposed to Trump getting in office in the first place and especially back in office after seeing how things really work in the DC Swamp the first time.
