The Department of Government Department of Excellence – or DOGE, which is not an official US government department – led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been reported moving to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to a March 28 Reuters report, Musk’s Doge team Controlled The SEC and said it would be given access to the Commission’s systems and data. The agency has been reported to be planned to establish a contact team to cooperate with the “efficiency” team, whose goals are not immediately clear.
“Our goal is to cooperate with DOGE representatives and cooperate with their requests following normal processes for ethical requirements, security or system training, and establishing their need to know before providing access to restricting systems and data,” said an email to SEC staff, according to Reuters.
After appointing as US president in January, Donald Trump signed An executive command that allows Doge to implement cost cutting measures, claiming efforts to “save taxpayers’ money.” However, many of the Musk’s efforts – including an attempt to burn staff at the US Agency for International Development, or USAID, and closed the Watchdog Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) – faced federal court suits from parties claiming DOGE’s actions are illegal or disagreeable.
This is a story development, and further information will be added as it is available.
