Summary

Hundreds of protesters and Democratic lawmakers rallied outside the Treasury Department, condemning Elon Muskā€™s ā€œhostile takeoverā€ of federal financial systems.

Lawmakers, including Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters, warned that Musk now has access to Social Security, Medicare, and tax refund data.

Treasury officials later clarified that Muskā€™s team has ā€œread-onlyā€ access, but critics fear security risks and misuse of taxpayer information.

Protesters see this as part of a broader effort to dismantle government institutions and erode public trust.

    For some reason when I search the news websites, this is not at the top of the news. It should be blasted everywhere that people are protesting. Iā€™m sure thatā€™s bcz they donā€™t want to actually amplify these messages.
