Elon Musk’s ‘government efficiency’ team turns its sights to SEC: Report

Published

on

The Department of Government Efficiency team — or DOGE, which is not an official US government department — led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk is reportedly moving into the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

According to a March 28 Reuters report, Musk’s DOGE team contacted the SEC and was told it would be given access to the commission’s systems and data. The agency reportedly planned to establish a liaison team to work with the “efficiency” team, whose intentions were not immediately clear.

“Our intent will be to partner with the DOGE representatives and cooperate with their request following normal processes for ethics requirements, IT security or system training, and establishing their need to know before granting access to restricted systems and data,” said an email to SEC staff, according to Reuters.

After taking office as US President in January, Donald Trump signed an executive order allowing DOGE to implement cost-cutting measures, claiming efforts “to save taxpayers money.” However, many of Musk’s efforts — including attempting to fire staff at the US Agency for International Development, or USAID, and shutting down the watchdog Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — face lawsuits in federal court from parties alleging DOGE’s actions were illegal or unconstitutional.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
