Still, the possibility that government officials might try to use the federal payments system β€” which essentially functions as the nation's checkbook β€” to enact a political agenda is unprecedented, said Mark Mazur, who served in senior Treasury Department roles during the Obama and Biden administrations.

"This is a mechanical job β€” they pay Social Security benefits, they pay vendors, whatever. It's not one where there's a role for nonmechanical things, at least from the career standpoint. Your whole job is to pay the bills as they're due," Mazur said. "It's never been used in a way to execute a partisan agenda. … You have to really put bad intentions in place for that to be the case."

I think the payments are already approved and this thing just does ACH transfers?? Is Musk stupid?

It's sounds like treasury accounting/ cash management. I did this for a few years for a local school district. I would make the transfers to different accounts (payroll,AP, bond payments). Basically everything is pre approved and I would just execute the payments and enter the transfers into the accounting software

Even if a payment is pre-approved, the bank processing it still needs additional approval steps for anti-money-laundering, OFAC violations, etc. It's not really obvious that, for example, the Treasury is authorized to pay people who have been placed on the OFAC SDN list by the Treasury itself.
