Statement from Magaziner on Elon Musk's Access to U.S. Treasury Payments
February 4, 2025
“It is deeply alarming that Elon Musk, an unelected and unvetted billionaire, has taken over the data and payment system that the U.S. Treasury uses to manage trillions in federal funds, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax refunds, and federal salaries. The situation is dangerous and unprecedented.
We cannot allow Musk and his associates to continue to have unrestricted access to the private information of millions of Americans and control over federal funds with no oversight.”
