Summary
Hundreds of protesters and Democratic lawmakers rallied outside the Treasury Department, condemning Elon Musk’s “hostile takeover” of federal financial systems.
Lawmakers, including Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters, warned that Musk now has access to Social Security, Medicare, and tax refund data.
Treasury officials later clarified that Musk’s team has “read-only” access, but critics fear security risks and misuse of taxpayer information.
Protesters see this as part of a broader effort to dismantle government institutions and erode public trust.
For some reason when I search the news websites, this is not at the top of the news. It should be blasted everywhere that people are protesting. I’m sure that’s bcz they don’t want to actually amplify these messages.
