Alexis Goldstein was a program manager at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the agency that has returned $21 billion to consumers since 2011. On February 7th, 2025, she wheeled her empty stroller into the CFPB basement and found people with no badges accessing government computers. She filmed them, they called security on her. She was put on administrative leave for a year. The inspector general found no wrongdoing. She was fired anyway. Now she's running for Congress.
But here's the thing nobody's talking about: Alexis was investigating Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Cash App trade secrets when DOGE arrived. Elon Musk wrote "delete CFPB" — then launched X Money, his own competing payments platform. Musk didn't just gut consumer protection. He may have walked out with the files.
