Elon Musk will dispatch a DOGE team to Parkersburg, West Virginia, next week, where it will gain read-only access to the US government’s central accounting system, according to a source familiar with the effort.
The planned visit opens a new window into some of the government’s most sensitive financial data. It comes after a federal judge restricted Musk’s cost-cutting team’s access to Treasury’s payment systems earlier this week, in a lawsuit brought by unions and a retiree group concerned about privacy.
