What controversy surrounds President Trump and Elon Musk's efforts to restructure the federal government?
President Trump and Elon Musk's efforts to shrink the federal government have sparked nationwide protests and significant controversy, particularly regarding access to sensitive personal data. Musk's team, directed to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration, has requested access to sensitive information of millions of Americans, including financial data and employment records. The controversy deepened when they also sought access to IRS data systems containing Americans' personal tax information, tax filings, and bank statements. The situation has led to high-profile departures, including a top Social Security official who stepped down after clashing with the Department of Government Efficiency over these data access requests.
