There's support for clearing government waste on both sides of the aisle, but also concern about the access Musk and Doge staffers have to sensitive data, especially given Musk's investments with China and billions from the government.
When PayPal was owned by Elon Musk, there were no security breaches. The IRS is a nightmare, with folks not back to work years after COVID. As a Congressman, it takes me up to six months to get a response regarding constituent concerns.
The IRS has hundreds of groups with access to sensitive data. People are only complaining now that Elon Musk is involved. The only reason to ask questions is if you're doing something crooked. Congressmen will have red faces when this paper trail leads back to them. People are pitching a fit because Musk is making needed changes.
Speaker 0: Not all
Speaker 1: this. Right. But but, you know, I I think that there's a lot of Americans who are supportive of this effort to clear off government waste, including, members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. But there's also concern by how much access Musk and Doge staffers have to their private sensitive data. You're also on the House Oversight Committee.
And given what we just talked about, Musk's investments with China and billions of dollars before the government. And now, you know, potentially having access to all this private sensitive data and not having full transparency on what is happening with that.
Speaker 0: Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: What information do you actually have on what Doge is doing with that data? What are your questions? What do you wanna know? Certainly, as a member of the oversight, you have some questions.
Speaker 0: Well, first of all, Elon Musk, when he when he owned PayPal, they've never had a breach of security. IRS is is is a nightmare, ma'am. You have you have folks that haven't still haven't gone back to work three year or four years after COVID. As a United States Congressman, I can write a letter of concern over a constituent of mine having problems with IRS, and it takes up to six months for me to get a response.
Speaker 1: Look. I'm not saying there's no problems with government agencies or the IRS. How long?
Speaker 0: You asked me a question. You asked me a question.
Speaker 1: But you're not answering it.
Speaker 0: And the IRS has well, the IRS has hundreds of different groups that that have access to this stuff, and yet no one's complained about that. You don't hear what
Speaker 1: There's checks and balances in place for the specific system. That's not true. Even the IRS
Speaker 0: balances. But
Speaker 1: Even politicals and the former IRS commissioner who was just on the show yesterday said even he didn't go to it, and it's highly unusual for political to have access to that system. Do you not have questions about what they're doing with the data, why they want access to private tax information from Americans? Do you not have those questions as a member of the oversight committee?
Speaker 0: I have questions. Only reason you'd have questions is if is is if you're doing something crooked. And you're gonna see a lot of congressmen with red faces when they follow this paper trail back to members of congress, ma'am. And that's that's the bottom line. That's and the only and where were they fussing the last three or four years?
I mean, we've had these groups have different groups have have access. Hundreds of different people have access to this that that are are nowhere in the scope of what needs to be, and yet no one raised one peep about it. Now Elon Musk gets a hold of it, and he and he's gonna do something. He's gonna make some changes that need to be made, and and and you all are pitching a fit. It's the same old line, ma'am.
You attack the message here.
Speaker 1: Clear. You all are not pitching a fit. A lot as I said, a lot of people think it's a good thing to weed out waste, but there are fair
