Scandal around Musk's committee: racist steps back and whirls by billions!

One of Elon Musk's confidants in the White House has declared resignation due to racist statements on social media. The 25-year-old was a member of the cost-reducing body, known as the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which was launched by Trump to reduce the spending of the US government. According to reports from Wall Street Journal, this employee was one of the few Doge representatives with access to the central payment system of the US Ministry of Finance. In various, now deleted tweets, he had spoken about ethnic groups in a discriminatory manner, which led to his abrupt withdrawal, as well as of OE24 was reported.

Access problem in the Ministry of Finance

Meanwhile, Musk's Doge committee is under observation because a US court has limited access to the central payment system for Doge employees. Only two people are allowed to access data in the system and have no influence on payments or changes, such as nau.ch reported. Access to the system is critical because it processes over six billion US dollars of government spending annually and contains sensitive personal data from millions of Americans.

This access, which enables DOGE to collect information and monitor the expenditure of the state, is regarded by unions as a potential data protection risk and is the subject of legal disputes. Musk, who is officially considered a "special government agent", has to specify to avoid any conflicts of interest. But the exact regulations and responsibilities of the newly created body remain unclear, which leads to further controversy.
