   ============   
   Musk now has access to the US Treasury payment system, which handles   
   Social Security checks. Will your check be on time? Will your data be   
   safe?

   ============   
   Under Musk, the government may have the ability to stop Social Security   
   Disability Insurance payments, as well as other benefits such as Medicaid   
   or Meals on Wheels, according to the national committee.   
      
   Payments on federal contracts and foreign aid may also be affected,   
   according to Lindsay Owens, executive director at the Groundwork   
   Collaborative.   
      
   The idea that a private citizen — unelected and unconfirmed by the Senate   
   — was in possession of the Treasury payment system and had access to   
   Americans’ personal financial and identifying information is “a five-   
   alarm fire for us,” Owens said.
