EXCLUSIVE: The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more.

Two of those sources say that Elez’s privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: The Payment Automation Manager (PAM) and Secure Payment System (SPS) at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS).

“You could do anything with these privileges,” says one source with knowledge of the system, who adds that they cannot conceive of a reason that anyone would need them for purposes of simply hunting down fraudulent payments or analyzing disbursement flow.

No one aged 18-24 is an “engineer.” More like juvenile terrorists screwing with my data illegally. Mothers, come get your children. They don’t belong tampering with my government.

I can understand why, but stressing their ages makes it sound like this would all have been ok if only he’d got older, more experienced engineers in to do this.

THANK YOU for being the rare source of accurate media reporting on the actions of our government. I’ve subscribed and hope other Americans follow suit. I refuse to watch or read any of the legacy media outlets.

Are these kids American citizens?

I seriously doubt it. Some are probably h1b hires I suppose?
