If Musk compromises the Social Security Administration in any way, millions of Americans could miss their checks.
If Elon is all about transparency, he should drop by
House Oversight and tell the American people why he's messing with their social security.

Marko Elez's reported resignation has interesting implications for Musk/DOGE control over Treasury payment data. Elez was one of only two DOGE affiliates permitted by court order to access the data, and DOJ claimed that the other (Tom Krause) had only supervised Elez's work.

(February 6, 2025)
With the consent of the parties, the Court DEFERS RULING on the Plaintiffs' [8] Motion
for a Temporary Restraining Order and ORDERS as follows:
• The Defendants will not provide access to any payment record or payment system of
records maintained by or within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, except that the
Defendants may provide access to any of the following people:
• Mr. Tom Krause, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the
Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to
payment records will be "read only";
• Mr. Marko Elez, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the
Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
