And we're supposed to believe this? Or believe that his team won't try to get total access?
Musk should have nothing. Not a goddam thing.

Elon Musk's DOGE team has been given "read only" access to the Treasury Department's federal payment system, and federal expenditures have not been affected, the Treasury said in a letter to Congress late Tuesday.

Treasury says Elon Musk's DOGE has "read only" access to payment systems
Democratic lawmakers have expressed concern that access to the system could allow DOGE, which disburses nearly 90% of all federal payments, to restrict disbursement of federal funds.

1/ ❗Really chilling.
Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge.
-Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ
-Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

Obviously illegal, immoral, and just plain disgusting for a handful of young people to seize the personal and financial data of millions of others and hand it to a centibillionaire.
Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
