25-year-old with Elon Musk Ties has direct access to the federal payment system

A 25-year-old engineer named Marco Eless, who previously worked for two Elon Musk CompaniesThere is direct access to the Ministry of Finance’s systems responsible for almost all payments made by US GovernmentThree sources say to Wired.

Two of these sources say that Eless privileges include the ability not only to read, but also to write a code of two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: Payment Automation Manager and Safe Payment System (SPS) at the Fiscal Service Bureau (BFS). Drawn up on the most secret mainframe, these systems control, at a granulated level, government payments that in their common common amount to more than fifth of the US economy.

Despite reporting that suggests Doge has access to these treasure systems at the reading level, sources claim that Eless, who has visited Kansas City’s office office, BFS Systems housing, has many admin level privileges. Usually, these administrative privileges could give someone the power to enter servers through protective access to the sheath, to navigate the entire file system, to change users’ permits and to delete or change critical files. This could allow someone to bypass security measures and potentially lead to irreversible changes, the systems themselves they have access to.

“You could do everything with these privileges,” says a source source about the system that adds that they cannot present a reason that someone will need them in order to simply hunt fraudulent payments or analyze the repayment flow.

“Technically I don’t see why this can’t happen,” says Federal IT worker, says Wired in a phone call late on Monday night, citing the possibility of a Interference An employee receives increased access to a government server. “If you were going to ask me a week ago, I would have told you that such things would never happen in a million years. But now, who the hell knows.”

A source says they are concerned that the data can be transmitted by protected systems to Doge operating persons within the GSA General Services Administration. Cable showed that Elon Musk’s associates – including Nicole Hollander, who SPA at Twitter offices While Musk acquires the company, and Thomas Shd, a former Tesla engineer who GSA agency nowalong with a multitude Extremely young and inexperienced engineers– They penetrated the GSA and tried to use White House security identification data to gain access to the GSA Tech, something experts said was extremely unusual and posing a huge security risk.

Eless, according to public databases and other records reviewed by Wired, is a 25-year-old who graduated from the University of Rutgers in 2021 and subsequently worked at Musk’s Spacex, Space Company, where he focuses on vehicle telemetry, Starship software and satellite software. Eless then joined the X, Company for Musk social media, where he works on AI Search. Public GitHub repositories show years of software development, with particular interest in distributed systems, recommended engines and machine learning. He seems to have no previous experience in the government.
