Two Democratic U.S. senators have asked Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) staffers linked to Musk to leave the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), saying their presence undermines the agency charged with overseeing the billionaire's yet-to-be-founded payments business. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff said Mr. Musk "is not only suppressing the consumer protection agency that oversees X's digital wallet, he may also have access to confidential company data that could give X an unfair advantage over competitors." Earlier this month, DOGE staff entered the agency, disrupting operations and shutting down its headquarters, temporarily putting it dormant.
