The ATF was (it might still be?) a division of the IRS. It was originally the enforcement arm of tax stamps on firearms. Remember, any tax, fee or permit on guns is a restriction on your God given rights. If you have to beg the government for permission, you don't have a right, you have a privilege. One that can be taken away at any time for any reason the state deems necessary.
Do they, though? They have access to the part downstream from the FED system where the Government itself issues money, but they don't have access to the FED itself.
I thought I read an article saying as much. It sounds like you're talking about USAID? My understanding (and I could be wrong) is that they have data access to payments the fed itself is making.
He's the perfect intel asset. He actually thinks he's a genius and that he does everything because of his own brilliance, completely oblivious to how In-Q-Tel & DARPA did all the work.
They've probably lost control of their own Frankenstein at this point.

These idiots are giving the keys to the kingdom to Musk. Musk is just pure weaponized autism.

He's not going to just be benevolent. He's a Capitalist, born from CIA In-Q-Tel and DARPA grants.
He's going to backdoor everything plus use the data itself to feed his AI models.
It's very dangerous game, that the Trump admin is playing with Musk. I predict it will backfire spectacularly.
