What concerns have been raised about Elon Musk's DOGE team and its transparency in the federal government?
Critics argue that Musk's DOGE team lacks proper transparency and accountability despite his claims to the contrary. While Musk insists the team is 'maximally transparent' through its X account and website, these platforms provide limited detailed information. Additionally, Trump has exempted the DOGE team from public records laws for a decade, preventing Freedom of Information Act requests. Musk's financial disclosures remain private due to his status as an 'unpaid special government employee.' This arrangement has raised concerns about conflicts of interest given Musk's vast business empire, pending federal investigations, and the team's expanding influence over federal hiring and operations.
