Summary

Senators Ron Wyden and Elizabeth Warren have requested a Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation into Elon Musk’s access to Treasury payment systems.

They warn that Musk may have obtained sensitive financial data on millions of Americans.

The request follows Treasury official David Lebryk’s abrupt retirement after clashing with Musk’s allies over payment system access.

Warren also pressed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for details on security safeguards. GAO confirmed receipt of the request but has yet to decide on launching the investigation.

They're as beholden to elitist money as any conservative. The quiet foot-dragging is going to get really fucking loud.

Ah yes, an investigation. Surely that will stop the rapid dismantling of our government!

Yes I'm sure the investigation will:

  1. be prompt
  2. be uncorrupted
  3. have any consequence

Investigation? How about arrest!

Trump admin: You got it. I'll get DOGE right on that.

Quick, someone get Merrick Garland on the case!!!

I realize it's fun to shit on Dems for doing such a poor job holding criminals accountable... hail Trump?

Yeah, fuck them for trying
