Senior US Treasury official to exit after rift with Musk allies,
report says

David Lebryk, the top-ranking career U.S. Treasury Department
official, will leave following a clash with allies of billionaire and
Trump adviser Elon Musk over payment system access, the Washington
Post reported on Friday.

The report, citing three people with knowledge of the matter, said
Lebryk and Musk's surrogates clashed over access to a sensitive system
used to pay out more than $6 trillion a year in Social Security and
Medicare benefits as well as federal salaries, government contract
payments and tax refunds.

It was unclear why the team tied to Musk, who U.S. President Donald
Trump has tasked with overhauling the government, sought access to the
payment system.
