Summary

Hundreds of protesters, joined by Democratic lawmakers, rallied outside the Treasury Department, condemning Elon Musk’s “hostile takeover” of federal financial systems.

Lawmakers, including Maxine Waters and Ayanna Pressley, attempted to enter the building but were turned away.

Treasury officials later claimed that Musk’s team had “read-only” access to coded payment data, but concerns persist over security risks and misuse of taxpayer information.

Protesters fear Musk’s influence is part of a broader effort to dismantle government institutions and exploit federal systems for financial gain.

    Very inspiring speech: we will vote against them on the beaches when they let us and hopefully there’s not too much interference so it’s a fair election.

    Fucking fight back, join protests / join unions / riot.

    MAGA blew up power infrastructure and stormed the Capitol over made up shit and the best you can do is “we’ll vote em next time!”

    Political impotence.
