Musk criticized alleged “fraudulent” Treasury payments on Saturday, as reports emerged that DOGE had gained access to the federal government’s payment system. Fox added that the report comes as the second Trump administration pushes forward with efforts to reduce what it describes as government waste and overspending.
“The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once,” Musk, the chair of DOGE, posted early Saturday morning to X.
