Why Musk's access to the Treasury payment system is so dangerous

The article from MSN discusses the potential risks associated with Elon Musk gaining access to the Treasury's payment system through his company, X Corp, which is attempting to become a financial services provider.

The article also touches on the broader implications for financial stability and security, questioning whether one person should have such extensive control over critical infrastructure.
