US Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer speaks about Elon Musk and DOGE accessing government agencies' computers and data during a press conference at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, February 3, 2025. Musk's aides have taken control of the US Treasury Department's payments system -- which manages trillions of dollars of transactions each year -- sparking alarm among critics. Musk, the world's richest person, is leading President Donald Trump's federal cost-cutting efforts under the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE).
