""To put it bluntly, these payment systems simply cannot fail, and any politically motivated meddling in them risks severe damage to our country and the economy," said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee."
"Musk and his team had locked out the civil servants whose jobs were to actually run the payment system and gave his unvetted team called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to the personal data of millions of federal employees."
Elon Musk's team received access to the federal payment system, which is critical for government operations.
