On Friday morning, security blocked Democrats, including Rep. Maxine Waters, from entering the Department of Education building in Washington, D.C. This incident follows the controversial activities of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is suspected of reducing government spending. Waters, visibly frustrated, engaged in a heated exchange with an official, criticizing Musk for his influence on national systems. She claimed Musk had access to private information like Social Security numbers and tax records, expressing concern he might monetize it. Waters also voiced fears about Musk’s international influence, citing a situation in South Africa where Musk allegedly pressured the government to bypass a constitutional requirement for foreign companies. The conversation raised concerns about Musk’s role in government and his potential conflicts of interest.
