The debate over Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency continues, with the world’s richest man accused of snooping on some of America’s most sensitive data. The DOGE has been tasked with reducing government spending by a paltry $2 trillion, which Musk himself admits might be unfeasible.
However, the billionaire and his crew have lost no time to shed the fat, targeting everything from the National Space Council to USAID. Concerns have been raised regarding the DOGE’s level of access, and some staff members have received death threats as a result of the debate.
“You can’t un-ring this bell,” the anonymous source told the local media outlet. Once these DOGE guys have access to these data systems, they can ostensibly do with it what they want.”
Four sources spoke to the local media outlet, but only Scott Cory would go on record. The former CIO for an HHS agency said: “The longer this goes on, the greater the risk of potential fatal compromise increases.”
