‘Almost Untraceable’: Elon Musk’s $DOGE Finds $4.7 Trillion Treasury Payments Lacked Critical Codes

The transactions were reportedly missing the Treasury Account Symbol, an identification code that connects a Treasury payment to a budget line item

The US Department of Government Efficiency led by tech billionaire Elon Musk has said that some $4.7 trillion in payments from the Treasury Department were missing a critical tracking code, making tracing the transactions “almost impossible."

According to DOGE, the transactions were reportedly missing the Treasury Account Symbol (TAS), an identification code that connects a Treasury payment to a budget line item, describing the use of this code as a “standard financial process."
