Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, defended Elon Musk's access to sensitive FEMA data containing personal information of disaster victims during a CNN interview. She argued that Musk's role is aimed at auditing federal government operations to improve efficiency. Despite concerns over government access to personal data, Noem insisted that Musk had the proper authorization and is part of efforts to identify savings. The dialogue raised questions about trust in government data handling and the implications of allowing private individuals access to sensitive information.
This is essentially an audit of the federal government, which is which is very powerful and needs to have happen, that agency.
Yes, that's what I'm saying, is that the American people now are saying that we have had our personal information shared and out there.
Absolutely, Noem replied. From there Noem launched into a baffling argument in favor of Musk's access.
Elon Musk is part of the administration that is helping us identify where we can find savings and what we can do.
