President Trump signs an Executive Order enabling the U.S. Treasury to modernize its payments system, in order to reduce waste, fraud and abuse:
Gets rid of all of the 47 independent payment systems and centralizes.
Makes use of the Do Not Pay list of fraudulent entities mandatory.
Shares data within government for fraud detection.
Requires budget IDs and EINs.

ELON: "The main computer payment system is called PAM (Payment Automation Manager). It's responsible for $5T a year, roughly $1B an hour. When we came we saw the payments had no payment categorization code and no description. Untraceable blank checks. This is the kind of thing that if a public company did it, the company would be delisted and the executive team would be thrown in prison -- but this is normal at the Government."
