Elon Musk faces a temporary setback as a federal judge bars his Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the Treasury's payment system. This incident highlights a pressing need for enhanced transparency in government financing. Advocates believe that creating a platform dubbed 'America's Checkbook' would allow citizens to track federal expenditures in real time, reinforcing that taxpayer funds are owned by the public. This approach aims not only to empower citizens but also to enable them to hold legislators accountable for spending choices, advocating for a revolution in governmental transparency.
Thanks to Musk's wise plan to follow the money, he has a historic opportunity to mount a coup - not on behalf of himself or President Trump, but for We the People.
Individual Americans have the same right to review 'America's Checkbook' as they do their own personal accounts.
Let taxpayers see their money flows - every dime, online, in real time - to infrastructure projects, cancer research, life-saving humanitarian assistance . . . and drag shows in Ecuador.
Musk and his DOGE recruits only had 'read-only' access to the payment system, which illustrates the urgent need to secure a permanent win for transparency.
