We Found Elon Musk’s DOGE Email Address and We’re Fighting to Reveal His Messages
theintercept.com
The Intercept is publishing Elon Musk’s government email address to aid those seeking information on DOGE in the public interest.

Summary

The Intercept has uncovered Elon Musk’s government email address, [email protected], and filed FOIA requests to access his correspondence as head of DOGE.

DOGE has rapidly cut federal staffing and spending but tries to claim exemption from FOIA due to its White House affiliation.

Watchdog groups argue DOGE wields agency-level power and are suing for transparency. Government responses on Musk’s role have been contradictory, fueling legal battles.

Pending lawsuits aim to classify DOGE as a FOIA-subject agency and force document disclosures.

    On one hand I’m glad someone is still playing by the rules.

    On the other hand I suspect that their FoI requests will be ignored.

    Someone posted the names and email address of every single DOGE employee on Bluesky. I have a copy but am not sure using it for anything at all beyond my own curiosity is probably illegal, including posting it anywhere. I think what they are doing to the US is awful but in years to come, when sanity returns, there will be a reckoning.

        In principle yeah, but we are currently speed running the dystopian surveillance state so much early sci-fi warned us about.

        What’s illegal is basically whatever those in power decide is illegal at the moment. Stop trusting in the rules to save you; we’re well beyond that.

    Hahahaha, his Official Government Email is his initials and year of birth.

    I wonder if his password is “TESLA S3XY”

      Hahahaha, his Official Government Email is his initials and year of birth.

      I mean that’s not that crazy. Most government emails I’ve dealt with are like lastnamefirstname or something similar. Birth year is a new one.

      I’m just saying, DOGE servers have been on Shodan for like 2 months now. If someone were so inclined…

    Would be a shame if that address was inundated with everything the world has to offer.

      A bad idea, then the email will become defunct, it’s better when we know it.

        Bold of you to assume internet users have been waiting on a consensus about this before you posted this fair reasoning.

        He is probably using another already.

          Nobody assumed anything, the second it was released into the wild it was spammed.

    I’m surprised his email account username is that banal. I’d have thought it would be something fucking stupid like “sigmaleetbro420”.
