Five Alarm Fire: Musk has Locked Government Officials Out of Their Payment Systems [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

I will make this short and brief. Earlier today, David A. Lebryk, the highest ranking career official at the treasury department resigned rather than let Musk and his team access the government’s payment systems. It was to no avail. They are now in. Here is the money line (no pun intended) that should scare the bejesus out of everyone:
The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said. "We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."
Here is the link to the actual article: Read the rest here.
I have to run, but I thought this should be front and center, immediately!
Am I wrong to be worried?
UPDATE:
I am seeing numerous comments asking people to immediately call their representatives or congressmen. So, I have added the links below:
Here are the websites you can use:
1. To find your officials
2. To call or email your congressman
3. To call or email your representative
It might also be good to contact the media, as they seem to be exclusively focused on the plane crash.
