Purged of what?
Honestly it sounds like Musk is trying to jumpstart his moribund "everything app" by taking over government payments.
Wow, sounds like something the Chinese Communist Party would do.
Crickets from "conservatives". They don't care about their own privacy, rights, community or health as long the center-right "libs" get owned
blind to hazard, the economic and social pain will be widely shared

Trump Advisers Seek to Shrink or Eliminate Bank Regulators
Advisers asked potential nominees whether Trump could abolish the FDIC
deposits to be insured by the Musk-controlled US treasury?
in addition to musk stealing the data for his own purposes, I imagine that they think they can simply shut off payments to whoever doesn’t comply. I would not be shocked if they tried to turn off Social Security for an entire state of course that’s dissolution of the union territory.
https://invezz.com/news/2025/01/28/e...cial-services/On Tuesday, the social platform said it has teamed up with the largest US credit card network, Visa Inc, to launch a digital wallet and enable peer-to-peer payments without the need for external ins utions.
Chief executive Linda Yaccarino called the new initiative the “X Money Account” in a post today.
2023 article
https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/...elon-musk-2024Elon Musk wants X to be the center of your financial world, handling anything in your life that deals with money. He expects those features to launch by the end of 2024, he told X employees during an all-hands call on Thursday, saying that people will be surprised with “just how powerful it is.”
“When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life,” Musk said, according to audio of the meeting obtained by The Verge. “If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”
I need a bank account, thanks.
...and better aim.
who gave Elon Musk a line item veto?

breathtaking theft of personal and official data by Musk's flunkies
There also seems to be a significant amount of downloading government data onto private servers, etc, totally outside any cybersecurity regime. Additionally it’s unclear to the people inside whether the people doing these things actually work for the US govt…
Trump stealing the power of the purse is literally revolutionary -- I don't think our previous form of government could accommodate that
Trump is also using Elon as sort of a shadow OPM to purge the civil service and resegregate government
if i were directly responsible for destroying the livelihoods of tens of thousands of civil servants who are all within 50 miles of me on all sides, i would simply not be a churlish troll who calls them all lazy good-for-nothings
why is Elon Musk posting US Treasury data online and why does Mike Flynn have it too?
(in passing, picking on a church-based social welfare org is picking on religion too)
"But her emails!!" seems so long ago now
Because Musk has put over a quarter billion dollars into Trump making President.
Flynn? He's exactly his vengeance. You didn't think you was gonna walk away from that, did ya, Winester?
They weren’t worried before but are crying now
Why should Elon have all your government information?
