I am making a civil liberties complaint under the Privacy Act of 1974, U.S.C. 552a. It has been brought to my attention that Elon Musk and his associates, under the guise of a directive of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) (an IT office in the White House), have acquired access to Treasury Department Records and Systems of Records as defined in the Act.
As an individual covered by the Act, I believe that there may be records about me in these Treasury Department systems, and I am concerned for the following reasons:
1. Elon Musk is not an elected official
2. Even if Musk were an elected official, the System of Records Notice (SORNs) governing the Treasury Department Privacy Act systems do not aloo w for disclosure Muck and his associates per the Routine Uses.
3. Disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive personal identifiable information (SPII) to MUSK and his associates would be an unauthorized disclosure and therefore breach of information.
The Treasury Department must (1) quickly investigate what Privacy ACT records that Musk and his associates have unlawfully accessed, (2) reveal to the public what unauthorized disclosures were made, (3) stop further access, (4) force any files acquired by Musk and his associates to be returned and/or permanently destroyed, and (5) seek criminal penalties against Musk and his associates for violations of the Act.

Civil Liberties Complaint
Hello,
I am making a civil liberties complaint under the Privacy Act of 1974, U.S.C. 552a.
