Days after his swearing-in, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Elon Musk and his team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (which despite its name, is not an official government department), access to the agency’s federal payments system, which essentially operates as the country’s central bank account.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Monday demanding to know what access Elon Musk was given to the federal payments system and what safeguards were implemented to protect Americans’ private data and prevent abuses.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren demanded answers following reports that billionaire Elon Musk took access to the nation's finance system, including sensitive financial data of nearly all Americans.
