'Gobsmacked' senators demand to know extent of Elon Musk's access to Americans' data

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON — Democrats are sounding the alarm about the privacy of Americans, whose private information is housed in Treasury Department files, as billionaire Elon Musk and his tech posse reportedly lock out civil servants from computer systems and databases. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Musk is specifically trying to "access" and "profit off American data." Sen. Maria Cantwell agreed she is "very concerned" about the access Musk is building for himself in U.S. Treasury Department databases. Sen. Ron Wyden described their work as "excavating the answers" about what Musk has access to and whether protections will be in place for the personal data of Americans. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, however, agreed that "if has access to private data," he would be concerned given "he's not an official member of the government."
