Norman Eisen, a watchdog advocate, highlighted that a recent court order barred members of Elon Musk's DOGE team from accessing the US Treasury's payment systems. This followed concerns that the team had been given inappropriate access to sensitive citizen information. The order restricts both their access and that of internal Treasury personnel, emphasizing the necessity for increased oversight. The ruling illustrates ongoing tensions over data security in federal agencies and the implications of private entities having access to sensitive government information.
The entire country was concerned that Elon Musk and his US DOGE service sitting over there in the White House were going to get in the Treasury and IRS systems and muck about in them. This order locks them out.
The complaint, filed February 3, came after that Bessent granted access to the payment systems of the Treasury department to members of Musk's DOGE team, including granting code-writing access to Marko Elez.
