Elon Musk recently defended his government efficiency initiatives in front of President Trump, emphasizing transparency while posting claims on social media. However, his statements were found misleading; his department, DOGE, is exempt from public records requirements. Critics argue that while DOGE shares updates on social media, substantial information about its decisions—like the termination of several grants—is lacking. This contradiction raises concerns over the authenticity of Musk's transparency claims and the accessibility of detailed information to the public.
We actually are trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X and to the DOGE website.
Mr. Trump designated Mr. Musk's cost-cutting initiative, the Department of Government Efficiency, exempt from public records law for about a decade, undermining claims of transparency.
