Why did the top official at the Social Security Administration resign?
The top official at the Social Security Administration stepped down over the weekend following a disagreement with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). According to two sources who spoke to NBC News, she refused a request from DOGE to access sensitive government records, which precipitated her departure. This resignation appears to be part of broader tensions between existing government officials and Musk's efficiency initiative, highlighting potential conflicts over access to confidential information and the scope of DOGE's authority within federal agencies.
