Elon Musk, head of the self-created “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), has overseen a wave of deregulation and budget cuts within various federal agencies, notably targeting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) shortly before launching his X Money payment system.

The timing of these actions, coupled with Musk’s extensive federal contracts and involvement in suppressing unionization efforts, highlights blatant conflicts of interest. This campaign, presented as an effort to increase government efficiency, is more accurately described as a broad-scale dismantling of regulations designed to protect consumers and workers.

Musk’s DOGE team: Judges to consider barring it from US government systems. The sheer audacity of the situation demands immediate action.

The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated. The potential damage caused by this unauthorized access is immense, and the continued delay only exacerbates the risks. Every moment that passes increases the chance of irreversible harm to sensitive government data and systems. Instead of thoughtful consideration, swift and decisive action is required.… Continue reading
