The Trump administration finally took action! Restricting the Musk team from accessing the U.S. Treasury Department system, leaving only two people with read-only access.

The Trump administration has ultimately decided to restrict the access of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk (Elon Musk) to the U.S. Treasury payment system, with only a few exceptional personnel retaining limited 'read-only' access.

Musk team blocked, restricted access to Treasury payment system

According to reports, DOGE, led by Musk, is a consulting agency aimed at reducing government spending and streamlining federal programs. The department was originally thought to only have access to some sensitive systems under the 'Bureau of the Fiscal Service)' of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. However, with increased scrutiny, the Trump administration has pushed to restrict its employees' access to the Treasury's payment systems, preventing external interference in government financial operations.

The Ministry of Justice has approved a restraining order, pending judicial review

The lawyers of the US Department of Justice have agreed to the restriction and formally submitted a motion to the court on Wednesday evening. According to court documents, the Department of Justice has requested that the defendants be prohibited from accessing any payment records or payment systems within the Treasury Department. Currently, the motion still requires the approval of Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the US District Court to take effect.

Two special personnel can still "read-only" access financial data

Although most members of the DOGE team will not be able to access the Treasury Department's system, the government has made an exception for two special government employees related to DOGE.

These two people are:

Marko Elez, a 25-year-old young engineer, has worked at two companies under Musk.

Tom Krause, CEO of a cloud software company.

According to the new regulations, they can still retain 'read-only' access rights, allowing them to view data but not make any modifications or operations.

With stricter regulatory oversight, data security is highly valued.

These restrictions show the Trump administration's tendency to be more cautious in managing financial data and attempt to reduce the impact of external organizations on government fund flows. With the final ruling of the court about to be announced, it remains to be seen whether the authority of the DOGE team will be further restricted in the future.
