Is Elon Musk’s DOGE team gaining “full access” to the US Treasury system creating a major security breach, or is it simply a powerful player gaining more influence in the business world? Will this debate have serious consequences for our national security? Here are the details of our news…
Is Elon Musk’s DOGE Access a National Security Threat to the US Treasury System?
Oregon Senator Ron Wyden told Elon Musk’s representatives that “full access” to America’s sensitive Treasury payments systems poses a serious threat to national security. Wyden announced on Saturday via Bluesky that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had granted Musk’s team access to the payments system that distributes trillions of dollars in U.S. government funds. Musk’s DOGE team was granted access to the system after a stalemate with Treasury officials. Wyden called the situation a “national security risk,” drawing attention to Musk and his associates’ efforts to interfere with the functioning of the U.S. government.
Links and Conflicts of Interest with China: Wyden’s Concerns Grow
Senator Wyden noted that Musk’s business interests in China pose potential threats to U.S. cybersecurity and that DOGE’s access to the Treasury system would create conflicts of interest . In particular, Elon Musk’s strong economic connections in China have been linked to cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, raising concerns that such access could create security vulnerabilities. The U.S. government security breaches that have been brought to light over the past year, with accusations against China, reinforce Wyden’s concerns. Wyden emphasized that the access granted to Elon Musk and DOGE poses serious risks to the country’s domestic security and economy.
