The Brief
Musk’s Expanding Role: Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has rapidly gained access to multiple federal agencies, including the CDC, USAID, CMS, and the Labor Department, as part of Trump’s initiative to cut regulations and restructure federal operations.
Security Concerns & Political Backlash: Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee are demanding answers after reports surfaced that Musk’s team has accessed classified intelligence, federal payroll data, and sensitive medical and financial records of millions of Americans. Republicans defend Musk’s role as part of Trump’s efficiency agenda.
Federal Employees on Edge: With Musk’s restructuring in full swing, federal workers face uncertainty, with many being offered buyouts to resign by Sept. 30. Fears have also spread that employees could be locked out of HR systems, prompting some to download their employment records to ensure proof of federal service.
