According to online reports, Jin Shi quoted the Wall Street Journal as saying that sources said that the U.S. Treasury Department has agreed to allow Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to enter a payment system that distributes trillions of dollars in benefits and subsidies to Americans every year. and tax refunds are usually managed by career civil servants. Finance Minister Bessant approved the move. Any interruption in the operations of the Treasury's payments system is one of the main fiscal arteries of the U.S. government could lead to far-reaching economic chaos. Former Treasury officials said it was unusual for political appointees to be involved in managing the payment network because the network included a strict protocol to ensure the security and privacy of payment operations. It is unclear how DOGE representatives intend to use their access to the payment system. Sources said DOGE representatives would not have direct authority to stop personal payments or make other changes, and their access rights would be "read-only." Besent approved the arrangement on the condition that the activities of DOGE representatives must be recorded and supervised. The person said DOGE representatives intend to review the overall efficiency of the payment system.
