Washington, D.C., February 3, 2025 —Elon Musk’s DOGE team accessed classified U.S. financial and security data, sparking a national security uproar. Lawmakers demand urgent action.
Elon Musk’s latest power move has triggered a national security firestorm after his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reportedly gained access to classified U.S. financial and security data.
The breach, described by historian Heather Cox Richardson as “the largest data breach in human history,” has sent shockwaves through government agencies and political circles.
Musk’s DOGE team allegedly accessed Treasury Department records, including Social Security and Medicare payment systems, raising concerns about unauthorized control over Americans’ financial data.
Even more alarming, Musk’s team reportedly breached classified State Department intelligence by overriding security protocols. Cox Richardson warned:
Elon Musk has just walked away with the computers that control our Treasury... and potentially our national security computers. And that’s terrifying.
The scandal erupted after two high-ranking U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) officials were placed on leave for refusing to hand over classified materials. Despite concerns over security clearance violations, Musk dismissed USAID as “a criminal organization” in a post on X.
Senator Elizabeth Warren condemned the breach, stating:
Trump is allowing Musk to access sensitive government data and shut down critical programs. We must act now to protect our democracy.
The controversy has escalated as global watchdogs and lawmakers demand investigations into Musk’s unchecked influence. With billions in humanitarian aid and national security at stake, critics fear Musk’s access to such data could have unprecedented consequences for both America and international stability.
