Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is focused on enhancing the performance of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). A DOGE employee granted access to VA systems will specifically look for wasteful contracts. However, concerns have been raised by Democratic Senator Patty Murray regarding data privacy, noting previous illegal data mining activities at the Treasury. Despite assurances that the DOGE employee won't access sensitive veteran data, skepticism remains about potential intrusions into private records amidst Musk's significant federal budget trimming ambitions.
We should all be deeply concerned about what it could mean to give Elon Musk and his cronies free rein at VA.
Musk and his associates already have the personal financial information of every veteran receiving disability or education benefits because of their illegal data mining at the Department of Treasury.
The DOGE employee will be solely focused on improving VA performance and efficiency and will not have access to veterans' or VA beneficiaries' data.
It remains unknown which of the 'DOGE boys' working for Musk's government takeover office has been granted access to VA computers.
