Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE is operating in secrecy as it restructures federal agencies.

Democrats and federal workers question DOGE’s staff, decision-making, and data access, raising security concerns.

As an example, DOGE has cut programs and leases at the General Services Administration, but after NBC News inquired about a DOGE request for GSA employee data, it was withdrawn within six hours.

Union leader Jacqueline Simon doubts DOGE staff have proper security clearances, calling the vetting process “impossible” given the timeline.

        “If I become president again I will take over the country, become dictator on day 1, cut healthcare and social support programs and also just start murdering people because I can.”

    DOGE is literally an example of government waste and inefficiency through needless duplication.

    The GAO already exists.

    Trump declared it legal and declared Musk above the law. What are you going to do about it?

    I don’t understand how Elon is allowed to do anything with the government? He isn’t a cabinet member, is he?

    This is so wierd given how people were crazy over the cia. This is like a super secret cia with no congressional or judicial oversite that is being given authority and access to all parts of the executive in an unlimited manner. I mean its crazy just writing it out in words.
