The solution to the security clearances issues was to make up a DOGE sub-team of insiders to the Treasury only - nobody outside it gets to see any sensitive information
An unelected person gaining access to government systems and deciding which systems to cut (like USAID) is best described as a coup. In fact, experts like former state Attorney General Joyce Vance describe it as a coup. Please don't minimize the situation: this is extremely serious and a constitutional crisis.
EHH, the Wired stated that not only did they NOT have merely just read only access, but one of the dudes there made changes to the code. Granted, said dude recently resigned, but I fear that social security payments and the like got cut off &/or there are back doors in the treasury. I just hope there is an audit & that code can be fixed.
Because the extent of Musk's actions in all these areas isn't known, but there are reports that his team plugged external hardware into existing systems, the only way to be certain that Musk and team haven't left back doors or viruses is wiping everything and possibly replacing all if the hardware.
