The Ministry of Government Efficiency of Elon Musk discovered $ 4.7 trillion to Treasury payments from the United States on a non -traceable budget line.
The agency announced on Monday that the Treasury Access symbol, which is used to describe the bill to which the money is linked, was missing a number of payments that the Ministry of Finance has made.
“In the federal government, the bag -field was optional for around $ 4.7 trillion in payments and was often left empty, making traceability almost impossible,” Post Doge on X.
“From Saturday this is now a mandatory field, which increases insight into where money actually goes.”
The account thanked the American treasury for his help in identifying the optional field.
The Ministry of Finance, which promotes trillions of dollars to government payments every year, was one of the first departments to which DOGE employees had access.
They have gained access from the very sensitive payment systems of the department and Musk now requires access to a classified IRS system that contains the personal financial data of millions of Americans.
The request, which is reportedly assessed, would give far -reaching access to IRS 'systems, property and data sets' via a memorandum of agreement.

Of particular importance, the potential access from Doge to the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) – a heavily protected database used by IRS employees to view taxpayers records, to work information and to issue official notifications.
Given the ability of the system to collect personal identification numbers, bank account data and other sensitive financial data, IRS officials reportedly expressed deep objections.
The report notes that taxpayers whose information is wrongly assessed or announced can be entitled to financial damage, which underlines the seriousness of the potential risk of DOGE request.
Critics see the request as an alarming over -range by a department that has already been confronted with control of its broad ambitions.
Experts have warned that allowing the access of political initiative to IRS databases is 'very unusual', so that it expresses concern about potential abuse of tax deferred data.
Nina Olson, a former lawyer of the taxpayer, has not chopped words when tackling the possible consequences of Doge's request.
“The information that the IRS has is incredibly personal,” she told the post.
DOGE announced on Monday that it now needs agencies to fill in the Treasury Access symbol in all transactions
“Someone with access to it can use it and make it public in a certain way, or do something with it, or share it with someone else who shares it with someone else and are violated.”
A senior civil servant of Trump Administration, however, defended the move and stated that the mission of Doge is to “eliminate waste, fraud and abuse and improve government performance to better serve people.”
The civil servant also insisted that the request is being made 'legally and with the correct safety authorizations'.
In the midst of the debate about the authority of Musk, Doge has started purifying the Federal Aviation Administration, with e -mails that were sent to probation workers late on Friday evening.
Hundreds have also received an acquaintance that their employment has ended.
Newly confirmed housing and urban development secretary Scott Turner also announced last week that he would work with Doge to set up a Task Force within the desk.
He posted a video on his X account on Thursday that announced that the task force 'would be very detailed and deliberate about every dollar spent on serving tribal, rural and urban communities throughout America.'
It would include HUD employees and is intended to “investigate how the bureau's budget can best be maximized and ensure that all programs, processes and staff work together to promote the purpose of the department,” according to a press release.

In the video message of Turner on Thursday, he said that the Task Force had found an extra $ 260 million in savings, after Musk said that $ 1.9 billion in misplaced funds had been recovered from the department.
The Doge -Head has also claimed that his department has discovered millions of dead Americans who are still eligible for social security payments.
He placed a graph on X showing that more than 20 million Americans were mentioned above the age of 100, including 3.9 million in the reach of 130-139, more than 3.5 million age 140-149 and more than 1 , 3 million in the reach of 150-159. There is even a 'living' citizen older than 360, according to the archives.
The billionaire Tesla -Baas wrote: 'According to the Social Security database, these are the number of people in every age bucket with the dead field set to False! Maybe Twilight is real and there are many vampires that collect social security. '
It is unclear how many of these payments are distributed due to fraud or errors of the agency that does not confirm the age and suitability of beneficiaries – including if they live or not.
But Doge promised that it is now 'looking at it'.
Doge reports that the taxpayers saved around $ 55 billion since the department was formed by the executive Order of President Donald Trump
In the meantime, DOGE reports that the taxpayers saved around $ 55 billion since the department was formed by the executive command of President Donald Trump.
The savings are a combination of 'fraud detection/removal, contract/lease annulation, contract/lease negotiations, sales of assets, cancellations of subsidy, personnel reductions, programmatic changes and regulatory savings, “says the new DOGE.COM savings page.
“We work to upload all this data in a digestible and fully transparent way with clear assumptions, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations,” says the site.
Doge added that it will update the data twice a week until it can eventually be updated in real time.
