A few days ago Eleonomista.es published a profile about Marko Elez, a 25 -year -old engineer who previously worked for two companies in Elon Musk and who these days was going to be part of the key team of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge, by its acronym, for its acronym in English). However, a recent exclusive WSJ points out that The young expert would have resigned to the position for racist controversies and the chaos that has generated his “direct access to the systems of the Treasury“, Responsible entity of almost all payments of the United States government.
With all the movement of charges with Trump’s arrival to power, the figure of Marko Elez appeared in Doge. It was a young 25 -year -old engineer with passed in two Musk companies: Space X and the social network X.
According to a Wired post, the new Employee of the White House, which lasted a few dayshad no experience in a government office And that among its new “privileges” the ability not only to read, but also to write codes in two of the Most sensitive systems of the US government: The Payment Automation Manager (PAM) and the Secure Payment System (SPS) of the Fiscal Service Office (BFS) “.
These systems housed in a central high secret computer, explained WiredThey control, at the granular level, government payments That, in their entirety, they represent more than a fifth of the US economy.
The controversy with the US Treasury and Dangers The Dangers of Information
In this scenario, the North American magazine has recently revealed the controversy that the United States Treasury had denied that Elez had “writing access”, when in reality I had it. Along these lines, several sources warned Wired about the power of Elez to alter the code that controls billions in federal expenses and that is apparently, “it would have been rescinded days after Treasury officials and the White House said It did not exist, “says the medium.
As a replica, “the officials of the United States Department of the Treasury and the White House have repeated majority of federal expenditure. A Doge agent had writing access. Not only that, but the sources told him Wired that at least one note was added to the treasure records that indicated that he no longer had writing access before the superior IT personnel declared that he had actually been annulled, “said the medium.
The sources have explained that Elez had “Many administrator level privileges.” In general, those “privileges” could give someone the power to log in in servers with safe access, navigate the entire file system, change user permissions and eliminate or modify critical files. That could allow someone to choose the security measures of the same systems to which they have access and potentially cause irreversible changes in them.
“Anything could be done with these privileges,” a source with knowledge of the system told the environment, who adds that they cannot conceive a reason why someone would need them simply for “Pursue fraudulent payments or analyze the disbursement flow.”
ELEZ resigns by racist publications
While Elez was in the eye of the hurricane for his “privileges”, a racist account of X was published that would end the passage of this engineer through the White House. According to one Exclusive WSJMusk’s young friend would have resigned After linked to a social media account, eliminated, which advocated “racism and eugenics.”
“To record, it was racist before it was cool … they could not pay me to marry someone who is not my ethnicity … normalize hatred to the Indians,” are some of the archived publications rescued WSJ.
After the newspaper asked about Elez and its relationship with the account, the White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, said that “Elez had resigned from his position.”
