A 25-year-old with Elon Musk ties has direct access to the federal payment system
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more.
Summary
Marko Elez, a 25-year-old engineer linked to Elon Musk, holds access to Treasury systems managing federal payments nationwide with unprecedented administrative control.
Sources reveal Elez can modify code on sensitive systems, enabling bypass of security measures, which experts warn could risk critical government operations.
Elez’s career includes roles at SpaceX and X, contributing to advanced telemetry and AI projects, notably though he lacks prior government experience.
Senate Democrats express alarm as DOGE operatives infiltrate federal systems, fearing manipulation of payments that could disrupt funding for programs, research, and public services.
THIS IS A FUCKING COUP!! Musk and friends are taking over the government! Trump must be punished for allowing this to happen!
Dox them all to hell.
Text I just sent my wife:
This April is gonna be a lot of fun.
I really wish they would stop focusing on the age. With computers, those 25 year olds can be light years ahead of thier older counterparts. And musk isn't expecting the guy to make any decisions that experience would help with. Musk just wants someone who does what he is told. Age really isn't a factor here.
I’m more concerned about the 19 year old with the broccoli haircut.
