Elon Musk's Access to Our Sensitive Financial Information
Should Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire and the head of DOGE, have access to your sensitive financial information, like Social Security checks, Medicare benefits, & tax refunds?
I'm writing to you with a serious concern. A day after the acting Treasury Deputy Secretary, David Lebryk, abruptly resigned from his position, media outlets reported that representatives from Elon Musk's "DOGE" were granted access to the department's federal payment system. This includes sensitive financial data like Social Security checks, Medicare refunds, and tax refunds for folks in the Massachusetts 7th and across the country. This raises all kinds of questions and concerns. Elon Musk is an unaccountable billionaire. He hasn’t been approved by the Senate to have any leadership role in government. The 'Department of Government Efficiency,' announced by Trump, is not any sort of government department or agency. Let me be clear - DOGE has no constitutional power over established government agencies, Elon Musk and his enablers are unelected bureaucrats seizing control of established government offices. I will continue to push back with every tool available.
As always, my team and I are ready to support you in any way we can, so please don't hesitate to give us a call at 617-850-0040 or visit our website at Pressley.House.Gov if we can be of assistance.
In service and solidarity,
