Elon Musk said his “DOGE team” of government efficiency enforcers is shutting down some payments to federal contractors, suggesting that the world’s richest man may have access to sensitive systems used at the US Treasury Department.

Citrix and CSG CEO Tom Krause works with Elon Musk’s DOGE to review Treasury department payment systems. Krause was key to Broadcom VMware acquisition.
