Should I move my checking/ savings from my credit union? Should I move my investments from Schwab? Should I move to different institutions or what can I do to protect ?

What do you imagine Musk is going to do with this information? Our financial data was already quite leaky before DOGE appeared.

In my opinion, this is just another leak in an already leaky boat, and I have no plans to make changes because of it.

Is the issue that you have given the govt electronic access to a particular account? You could revoke their access. If you're really paranoid, you could change it to a different account in the same institution. I know there's a lot of insanity in Washington, but I don't see a scenario where it leads to errors where they wrongly take money from an account that you gave them access to for tax payment purposes.
