The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did
The US Department of Treasury and White House officials have repeatedly denied that the technology associated with the so -called department of state efficiency of Elon Mask (DOGE) had the opportunity to rewrite the code of the payment system through which the vast majority of federal expenses flows. However, wiring reports show that at that time these statements were made, Doge’s operative actually had access to the record. Not only that, the sources report Wired that at least one note was added to the Treasury record indicating that he no longer had access to the recording before the senior IT staff said that it was actually canceled.
Marco Eleze, 25-year-old DOGE technologist, was recently installed in the treasury as a special civil servant. One of the number of young people identified Wired, who have practically no government experience, but is currently associated with DOGE, Elez previously worked at SpaceX, Musk’s Space Company and X, the social company MUSK. Eleise resigned on Thursday after the Wall Street magazine asked about his connection with the “remote account on social networks, which played for racism and Eugenika.”
According to Wired, Elez was provided with privileges, including the opportunity not only to read, but also to write down the code for two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: the payer automation manager (PAM) and the safe payment system (SPS) in the Fiscal Service Bureau (BFS) , an agency, which, according to the Treasury’s records, paid $ 5.45 trillion in 2024 financial year. The reports from the memorandum of conversations confirmed that the treasury employees were worried that Elector had already made “extensive changes” for the code within the treasury system. Payments processed by BFS include federal tax returns, social security benefits, additional benefits for the safety and payment of veterans.
Over the past week, the nuts and bolts of the DOGA access to the Treasury were in the center of the escalation crisis.
January 31, David Lebrik, the oldest public servant in the treasury, announced that he would resign; He was placed on an administrative vacation after he refused to provide the Musk’s Dog with access to the federal payment system. The next morning, sources report WireD, Elez was provided by reading and recording access to PAM and SPS.
On February 3, Politico reported that the Minister of Finance Scott Immotrot told republican lawmakers in the Committee on Financial Services of the Chamber, that Musk and DOG did not control key treasury systems. On the same day, New York Times reported that Caroline Livitt, a White House spokesman, said that Dozhna’s access was “only for reading”.

The meaning of this is that the ability to change the code in these systems theoretically gives the DOGE technologist – and, in terms of expansion, musk, president Donald Trump or other actors – the ability, among other things, illegally disconnect the congress. authorized payments to specific persons or organizations. (CNN reported on Thursday that Musk Associates demanded that the Treasury of the pause authorize the USAID payments, accelerating the resignation of Lebrick.)
On February 4, Wared said that Elez actually had the administrator access to PAM and SPS. Later in that day, he said that that day she said that “he made significant changes to the code base for these critical payment systems.” In a letter on the same day, which was not mentioned by Musk or DOG, the treasury official Jonathan Bloom wrote to Senator Ron Wayden from Oregon: “Currently, treasury employees working with Tom Krause, the Treasury employee, will only be reading for encoded payment systems of financial systems services “. (Krause is the best DOGE operative in the Treasury and CEO of Cloud Software Group.) The letter did not say what kind of employee access actually had.
