Treasury Official Quits After Resisting Musk’s Requests on Payments
Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team sought access to the government’s vast payment system, part of its bid to choke off federal funding. Jan. 31, 2025 The Trump administration pushed out a top Treasury Department official this week after he refused to give Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the government’s vast payment system, part of a bid by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency to choke off federal funding. David Lebryk, a career civil servant who oversaw the more than one billion payments that the federal government makes every year, was placed on administrative leave this week after resisting requests from Mr. Musk’s lieutenants, according to people familiar with the circumstances, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive internal dynamics. On Friday, Mr. Lebryk — who had briefly served as acting Treasury secretary until the confirmation of Scott Bessent this week — told colleagues that he would retire after more than 35 years of working for the government. Mr. Lebryk’s abrupt departure raises questions about whether Mr. Musk will now gain control of the payment system — and, if so, how he could use it. His exit also underscores the extraordinary amount of power that Mr. Musk, whose current employment status inside the federal government remains unclear, is accumulating at the opening of the second Trump administration. Mr. Musk, a billionaire, has dispatched aides across the bureaucracy to try to radically reduce spending. He has told Trump administration officials that he aims to take control of the Treasury computers used to complete payments in order to identify fraud and abuse, according to three people familiar with his remarks. The Treasury Department executes payments on behalf of agencies across the government, disbursing $5.4 trillion, or 88 percent of all federal payments, in the last fiscal year. The system is run out of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, a little-known but critical office that is responsible for getting money to Social Security recipients, government employees, contractors and others.

Seems fair to me to deny access. Musk hasn't been confirmed, and probably doesn't even yet have the necessary clearance to access this information. I don't think he should have access to it regardless, given his conflict of interest with his Space X business, which could provide him with valuable commercial information relating to his competitors such as Boeing. |

[Musk] 'post appeared to ignore the mechanisms already in place for Treasury to simply fulfill lawful payment decisions made by other agencies, and that the system’s value to the federal bureaucracy and the nation’s economy lies in its reliability.' |

According to one person familiar with the department, Trump-affiliated employees had asked about Treasury’s ability to stop payments. But Lebryk’s pushback was, “We don’t do that,” the person said. “They seem to want Treasury to be the chokepoint on payments, and that’s unprecedented,” the person added, emphasizing that it is not the bureau’s role to decide which payments to make — it is “just to make the smacking payments.” See CNN link |

They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Disbursing trillions. No payment is ever denied. And you mongs thing that's healthy and efficient - simply because Musk say it evidently isn't. Stop your retarded faggotry. |

Oh look, frank doubling down on his stupidity once again. I never made any comment on the efficiency or lack thereof of the payment system. Keep digging that hole deeper frank, you have had plenty of practice ;D As an aside, it may interest you to learn that it is not the job of this department to audit other departments, oh something else, this system has been in place since forever, even under your DL frank. Still your english comprehension sucks. ;D |
