Billionaire Elon Musk’s deputies have gained access to a sensitive Treasury Department system responsible for trillions of dollars in U.S. government payments after the administration ousted a top career official at the department, according to three people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe government deliberations.
On Friday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent approved access to the Treasury’s payments system for a team led by Tom Krause, a Silicon Valley executive working in concert with Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” the people said.
David A. Lebryk, who served in nonpolitical roles at Treasury for several decades and had been the acting secretary before Bessent’s confirmation, had refused to turn over access to Musk’s surrogates, people familiar with the situation told The Washington Post. Trump officials placed Lebryk on administrative leave, and then he announced his retirement Friday in an email to colleagues.
Spokespeople for Treasury and DOGE declined to comment.
The sensitive systems, run by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, control the flow of more than $6 trillion annually. Tens of millions of people across the country rely on the systems.
They are responsible for paying Social Security and Medicare benefits, salaries for federal personnel, payments to government contractors and grant recipients, and tax refunds, among tens of thousands of other functions.

Elon is smart. This is the mother lode. That is jammed with legacy computer systems that do not talk to each other. I bet there are 1970s-1980s mainframes still operating. Elon will need to put a few thousand old programmers to work on this mess.
My guess is 85% of payments are neutral and legitimate. While 15% go to left wing NGOs, Orgs, connected Democrat Climate “entrepreneurs”, left slanted grants to states and cities....... Use your imagination. 15% to fund the leftist blob and leftists trough feeders.
Call Congress: (202) 224-3121 U.S. House switchboard operator.
Shakeup Congress on social media.

Attach news clips, other relevant documents, links.
Lebryk was managed by an Obama insider, a Nigerian immigrant appointed by Biden, who abruptly quit two weeks ago and refused to hand over official documents chronicling his activities at treasury.
Not just Dems...
Musk has some EXTREMELY talented software engineers and data analysts on his payroll, who are being loaned to Trump.
I have a feeling that the next few weeks will have some very interesting revelations about what government money has been being spent on.
Trump is maintaining excellent momentum, and is doing a Blitzkrieg on the Deep State.
If anyone can get to the bottom of how the Deep State has been skimming money, Musk and Trump will.
I just realized something...I enjoy reading the news now. For four years, news esp about federal anything essentially ruined an otherwise decent day. Its not like that now. Thank you PDJT.
My arse...
Allasudden I have to put up the question. Would a EMP blast wipe hardrives?
You are way too generous. 50% is likely scammed.
Start Yanking passports Now .
The Obamas , their Nigerian scam head , The non partisan hack , and the entire Biden crime family .
Cut them off before the flights to Hong Kong take off .
Before being appointed by Biden to Treasury, sinister
Nigerian immigrant Adewale Adeyemo was an Obama insider.
<><>He was Director of the National Economic Council under Obama
<><>he was also a Sr Advisor, the Former Chief of Staff, for Blackrock.
<><>he oversaw $6 trillion in Treasury payments approval
<><>He directed that no US Treasury payments be disapproved, even to international terrorists
<><>he abruptly quit Treasury when Must started asking questions,
<><>he refused to turn in official documents, chronicling his Treasury activities
<><>he had No apparent congressional oversight
<><>he was previously the president of the Obama foundation.
<><>did he illegally transfer Treasury monies to the Obama foundation?
<><>is this the reason why Obama will not disclose his foundation finances?
<><>how exactly dd Obama raise a billion dollars thru his Foundation?
Thanks to Musk, we’re going to find out how MUCH the Treasury Department stole from the American taxpayers. People are going to prison. Biden really tried hard to destroy our country and he got away with it....makes you wonder why he wasn’t impeached?
To understand how any institution works and what it prioritizes, follow the money. So, that’s why Elon and DOGE started at the Treasury Dept.
