Haven't seen any discussion that Musk could just seize bank assets, no Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #10

I'm not a dog so I don't fetch for anyone, but a minimum of effort should Maru Kitteh Feb 2025 #11

Plenty of discussion about Musk controlling payment. Next to ZERO on seizing individual finances. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #13

Even without Musk officials could always get into your account. Unlikely they'll do any of that now. But who knows with Silent Type Feb 2025 #12

That's the point. The gov't has always had this power. But it's in Musk's (and Trump's) hands now. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #16

Not worried, and I have a Hispanic last name and post a bunch of liberal stuff under my real name. If they do Silent Type Feb 2025 #20

Sorry, that doesn't discuss Musk's ability to seize an individual's assets. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #19

what part of HE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS Skittles Feb 2025 #59

Access isn't seizure or ability to lock Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #61

Yes. The gov't does this when seizing accounts that are suspected in Money Laundering operations. Mr.WeRP Feb 2025 #57
