This controversial move has raised alarms among lawmakers, particularly Senator Ron Wyden, who fears that Musk's organization may misuse this access to affect federal programs negatively. The situation coincides with the resignation of Treasury Deputy Secretary David Lebryk, signaling potential turmoil within the Treasury's ranks following the request for sensitive data by Musk's group. Wyden underscores that meddling with critical payment systems could result in dire economic consequences.
