Elon Musk, the lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, backed the idea of using blockchain technology on Sunday to streamline the U.S. Treasury.
What happened: The Tesla and SpaceX CEO accused the Treasury Department officials of flouting rules to sanction government payments.
“Career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress,” Musk wrote in an X post.
Musk cited 31 U.S.C. Section 3325, which requires government disbursing officials to obtain certification from the head of the relevant executive agency before authorizing such payments.
