Elon Musk Responded to the ordinance of a federal judge temporarily blocking access to the government’s ministry (DOGE) to data from the sensitive department of the Treasury with a Blitz of X posts alleging shocking levels of potential fraud.
The preliminary injunction published on Saturday by the American district judge Paul Engelmayer supported 19 prosecutors of the Democratic State who said that giving Doge “full access” to the Treasury payment systems violates the law.
Engelmayer has planned an audience of February 20, until Doge will decrease access to the Treasury data which include Americans’ Social security, Medicare, serials of veterans and reimbursement of tax reimbursements.
But Musk said that Doge had already found major problems with the way the Treasury department paid American bills before Engelmayer’s injunction.
“”[Friday]I was told that there were currently more than $ 100 billion / year of law payments to people without SSN or even a temporary identification number. If it is correct, it’s extremely suspicious, “Musk wrote a few hours after the decision.
“When I asked if someone from Treasury had an approximate supposition for which percentage of this number was an unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so 50 billion dollars / year or 1 billion dollars / week !! must be treated immediately.

The owner of X, Tesla and SpaceX and Trump Confidenty He also involved that former treasury officials prevented their employees from investigating waste.
“Nobody in the direction of the treasure caught himself enough before,” wrote Musk. “I want to credit the level of work of the Treasury which wants to do it for many years, but which have been arrested by previous management.”
One of the objectives agreed by DOGE and the Treasury Department, said Musk is to “demand that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary to adopt financial audits”.
“This is often left empty, which makes audits almost impossible,” he added.
Musk also pointed out that all treasury payments “must also include a justification for payment in the field of comments, which is currently left empty”.

“Above all, we do not yet apply judgment to this justification, but simply requiring an attempt to explain the payment more than nothing!” Musk wrote. “The list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or who are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not correspond to the credits of the congress must be implemented and not ignored.
“In addition, he can currently take up to a year to get this list, which is far too long. This list must be updated at least every week, otherwise daily,” added the entrepreneur. “The super obvious and necessary changes are implemented by existing employees of the long -standing career government, no one from @doge.”

Musk added that it was “ridiculous that these changes did not already exist” and revealed that it had recently been informed of the massive waste payments in law, up to $ 1 billion per week.
“Everything in the Treasure was intended to complain[t] Minimization, “he added.” People who receive money do not complain, but people who do not receive money (especially fraudsters) complain very hard, so fraud has been authorized to continue. “”
