People working for, or with, Elon Musk are reportedly taking over the inner workings of multiple government agencies, including the Office of Personnel

Summary

Elon Musk’s team is reportedly gaining control over key U.S. government operations.

His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials have clashed with Treasury staff over access to federal payment systems, which handle $6 trillion annually.

Reports indicate Musk aides have locked civil servants out of government databases and are reviewing tech operations across agencies.

Originally intended as an external advisory body, DOGE was instead integrated into the government by Trump’s executive order, giving Musk a direct role in federal operations.

      Let the First Corporate War begin.

      My money is on Palmer Luckey, he actually runs a weapons tech company and owns a special ops fast insertion boat with a .50 machine gun. Plus he has a grudge to settle with Zuck (who ironically fired him for funding Trump during his first election).
