Do you Trust this man with your private information?

The world’s richest man may now have access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday granted Elon Musk and his minions at the faux-agency DOGE full access to the Treasury’s massive federal payment system.

It’s not at all clear what he plans to do with this unprecedented access. But I figure because he is working for a very spiteful and greedy man it won’t be anything good. Cheers!

    He has your personal information because you gave it to him.  I did not authorize him or his teeny-bopper hackers to have MY personal information.  That is a breach of my privacy.  Bad enough I have to worry about foreign government hackers, now I have to worry about my own government - and they don't even have to hack - they've been given full access.

    They are not worried about you or me.  Unless we are receiving some of the money USAID is wasting.   I, personally or professionally, am not receiving any foreign aid.   I doubt you are, but I could be wrong. 

    USAID (United States Agency of International Development) is the agency that distributes most foreign aid.   It is not the IRS, etc.

    It starts with USAID and you think it will stop there?  If you do, that's pretty naive thinking.  They have access to more than just USAID or are you unaware of that?

    He has access to the Treasury Department payment system. That would include much more than foreign aid and much more information than users of PayPal provide. But, if a person is in favor of a totalitarian government, that would not concern them.

    Treasury Department access would include Social Security and Medicare payments, to both of which I am entitled.  It also wouldn't concern them if they don't receive any of the payment which the Treasury Department makes.  I am not positive, but I believe that would also include income tax information and payments.

    Yes,  I am aware and patiently waiting for them to rid the gov of billions or trillions of waste in all the departments.   

    This is what most Americans have claimed to have wanted for decades.   
    But it is what Trump voters knew was coming and we voted for it.   We knew DOGE was coming and Musk would be in charge  of it.  There is talk of Ron Paul helping as well.   :)

    Trump voters wanted the president and a non-elected head of a fake department to usurp the powers given to Congress in the Constitution? Sounds about right.

    We want him to cut the waste.  

    You realize the only thing Musk has done at this point is tell the American people how our money is being wasted. He did an audit.  He reports to Mrs. Wiles and Trump or his appointments (Secretaries approved by Senate) choose what to do with that info. In this case, USAID is now under Sec Rubio's control.

    I have been wondering about what Trump/Musk can do with all the personal info they now have.

    I’m thinking they could remove people from the voter list. And or cancel peoples SS checks.

    Cheers!

    Again, not the same department he is working on at the moment.

    He is working in the United States Agency of International Development....

    Not IRS, SS etc.
