Summary
Elon Musk vowed to cancel government grants after allegedly gaining access to the US Treasury’s payments system, triggering the abrupt resignation of a senior official.
Musk, who leads Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), claimed his team found Treasury officials approving payments without scrutiny.
Democrats, including Sen. Ron Wyden, raised alarms over Musk’s influence on federal funds. Treasury access concerns intensified after Trump ally Michael Flynn posted grant payments online.
Musk’s authority to halt payments remains unclear, and the Treasury has not responded to inquiries.
I’m not sure we should be giving government grants to any religious organizations, but why on earth would you target Lutherans of all groups?
Tim Walz, Democratic VP is a Lutheran, bigly involved in the church. This is payback for daring challenge their demented rapist puppet.
Grants were for immigrant assistance.
