Unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his DOGE demolition crew have infiltrated the Treasury Department’s payments system. We’re tracking this crisis as it unfolds.
Last updated: February 28, 2025
Unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his DOGE demolition crew have infiltrated the Treasury Department’s payments system. This anti-democratic attack on critical infrastructure—part of Musk’s broader, ongoing coup —has been aided and abetted by Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Here are some questions we think people should be asking Bessent.
We’re tracking this crisis as it unfolds. Please email us at revolvingdoorproject@protonmail.com if you have questions, comments, or concerns.
What is the Treasury Department’s payments system?
“The Bureau of the Fiscal Service’s payment systems control the flow of more than $6 trillion in annual payments to households, businesses and other entities nationwide. These payment systems process more than a billion payments annually and are responsible for the distribution of Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax refunds, payments to federal employees and contractors, including competitors of Musk-owned companies, and thousands of other functions.” [Source: Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, January 31 ]
What is at stake in DOGE’s ongoing takeover?
“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 […] It appears that Musk’s behavior is forcing out highly qualified and experienced career public servants in order to get his way and fulfill Trump’s goal of eviscerating the federal budget, including potentially by cutting Social Security and Medicare benefits for millions of Americans who are already struggling to pay their bills or buy groceries.” [Source: Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, January 31 ]
