A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System
Briefly

Marko Elez, a 25-year-old engineer with past affiliations to Elon Musk's companies, has obtained unparalleled access to sensitive US Treasury systems, including the Payment Automation Manager and Secure Payment System. His administrator privileges allow him to both read and write code, presenting a significant risk to the integrity of government payments, which account for over a fifth of the US economy. This situation has alarmed security analysts and raised pressing questions about oversight, especially since Elez retains access without extensive security clearance, leading to fears of potential data misuse or manipulation.
A 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies, has direct access to Treasury Department systems... that control government payments.
Elez's privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems... which control government payments that amount to more than a fifth of the US economy.
Elez has many administrator-level privileges that could allow him to bypass security measures and cause irreversible changes to critical systems.
This may be the biggest privacy and data security breach in our country's history... people who had no security clearance are authorized by him.
