No it doesn't. You are fixated on the access being used to question the veracity of payment system itself.

The reason I keep mentioning ‘access to a sensitive system’ is because that is what the article mentions Musk’s surrogates are demanding.

A quote from the article in my original post:
“The report, citing three people with knowledge of the matter, said Lebryk and Musk's surrogates clashed over access to a sensitive system used to pay out more than $6 trillion a year in Social Security and Medicare benefits as well as federal salaries, government contract payments and tax refunds.”

Allow me to stipulate that the payment system is perfect and accurate in every way possible.

Nothing human made is perfect.

"And it is NOT the payment system itself that is being audited. It is using that system to identify specifically what payments are being made to who in what amounts."

If it’s not the payment system itself, then why do they want access to the system? If they want to look at payments (amounts and who got paid), then look at records. I hope they find the owe me more Social Security. Plus interest, of course.
