Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff urged removing Department of Government Efficiency staffers linked to Elon Musk from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. They argued that the staffers' presence compromises the agency's regulatory role over X’s upcoming payments venture. The lawmakers accused Musk of neutralizing the CFPB and potentially gaining access to confidential corporate data that could provide X with an unfair competitive edge. DOGE staffers recently shut down CFPB headquarters, halting operations.
