A New York Times report reveals rising concerns about Elon Musk’s significant, unchecked influence in government under President Trump. His unconventional approach to dismantling agencies and halting funding has alarmed many, particularly a new advisory group, termed the "DOGE department," which operates with little oversight. This has prompted worries about accountability and security in government operations. With a youthful, unconventional staff, Musk's maneuvers have caught lawmakers and media off guard, as they struggle to grasp the implications of Musk's vast wealth and power on governance amid an increasingly polarized political climate.
The scale and nontraditional nature of the world's wealthiest man, who can boast about massive government contracts, has deeply concerned officials.
Musk’s DOGE department seems to operate without official security clearances under a bizarre group of young staff, raising alarm bells across Congress.
