A young engineer who worked at Elon Musk’s social media giant X and aerospace companies is believed to have direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the U.S. government, a new report says.
Marko Elez, 25, of the Department of Government Efficiency – an advisory body headed by Musk tasked with cutting programs and slashing federal spending – can both read and write code on two payment systems that process trillion dollars every year, two sources told Wired.
