Sacramento County, CA, February 3, 2025

Today, U.S. Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) released a statement sounding the alarm on Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gaining access to the Treasury Department’s payments system.

“My office has received hundreds of calls and emails from Sacramento County residents concerned about the outrageous and unprecedented access Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have gained to the Treasury Department’s payments system.
