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.
Ya know I guessed that Musk and Trump were going to try to take control of the federal payment system, which I will guess theyll cause a soviet style break up soon after because theyll refuse to pay anyone. I swear to fuck if my guess comes true im taking whatever prophetic abilities I was cursed with and I am going to beat the Allfather with it. Because while the specifics were blury this is matching up to a what was apparently a vision I had when I was ten, upside is I mau get to shell a city woo!
