Billionaire Elon Musk outlined a list of "super obvious" changes that his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) plans to make at the U.S. Treasury Department this weekend.
Musk says officials at the treasury are working to make the government's books more simple to audit, as well as more accountability for where funds are going. The changes also require treasury employees to more frequently update the congressional "do not pay" list, which highlights fraudsters and illegal fronts.
"Nobody in Treasury management cared enough before. I do want to credit the working level people in Treasury who have wanted to do this for many years, but have been stopped by prior management," Musk said.
"Everything at Treasury was geared towards complain[t] minimization. People [who] receive money don’t complain, but people who don’t receive money (especially fraudsters) complain very loudly, so the fraud was allowed to continue," he added.
