Summary

Elon Musk claims his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is shutting down payments to federal contractors, including a Lutheran charity, asserting it is eliminating corruption.

This suggests DOGE has access to Treasury’s payment systems, though officials have not confirmed the extent.

Senator Ron Wyden warned that DOGE may interfere with Social Security, Medicare, and government contracts.

Musk also called USAID “a criminal organization” that should “die,” amid DOGE’s growing influence over federal financial operations.

    Yeah I don’t see LockMart and Raytheon taking that sitting down. Musk thinks he has power, he doesn’t really. The MIC runs American finance.

        That’s not going to matter. There are some absolute giants in the contracting world and they’re not going to take this lying down.
