Summary
David Lebryk, the longest-serving career official at the U.S. Treasury, is resigning after a conflict with Elon Musk’s allies over access to a key government payment system.
Musk’s team has sought control of the system, which distributes $6 trillion annually in Social Security, Medicare, federal salaries, and other payments.
Traditionally, only career officials handle it.
Lebryk’s departure raises concerns, as he served under multiple administrations, including Trump’s, and was widely respected for his nonpartisan leadership.
His exit signals growing instability in financial governance.
On point.
Damn. I hope you get the best outcome possible.
I know exactly what you’re talking about, I have been poked and prodded by those idiots pretty much any time I post about how hopeless I have felt in certain moments during the past few months. I am not going to comment on his alleged actions but people going around encouraging others to copycat is not the way, it’s harmful and disrespectful.
