25-year-old engineer linked to Elon Musk has direct access to federal payment system: Report

Hindustan Times  

A 25-year-old engineer, Marko Elez, who previously worked for two of Elon Musk’s companies, has direct access to US Treasury Department systems that handle nearly all government payments, WIRED reported. The report added that, according to two sources, Elez’s privileges include the ability to write code, not just read, on two of the US government's most sensitive systems — the Payment Automation Manager and Secure Payment System at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. While reports indicate that Musk's Department of Government Efficiency task force has “read-only” access to Treasury systems, the news report quoting sources claim Elez, who has visited a Kansas City office housing BFS systems, possesses numerous administrator-level privileges. This followed significant backlash after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency was granted access to the system.
