Chuck Darwin<p>Like most people paying attention, I was and remain terrified by the predictable power grab by the Musk/Trump administration. </p><p>But it never occurred to me that Musk’s people would try to seize control of the computer systems that, in effect, cut all the checks the federal government sends out. </p><p>In fact, very few people realized it was happening.</p><p>One person who did realize it, however, was <a href="https://c.im/tags/Nathan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nathan</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Tankus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tankus</span></a> <br>— an independent expert on the financial “plumbing” at the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. </p><p>So Nathan suddenly became the man of the moment. <br>His blog "Notes on the Crises"<br>has become crucial reading <br>— and he may have helped steer us, temporarily at least, away from the edge of the abyss.</p><p>So I interviewed him a few days ago. Below you’ll find a slightly edited version of the video and a very slightly cleaned-up version of the transcript. </p><p>No paywall on this one; it was a lot of work, but it’s too important </p><p><a href="https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/musk-in-your-computers-an-interview" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paulkrugman.substack.com/p/mus</span><span class="invisible">k-in-your-computers-an-interview</span></a></p>
