The article discusses Elon Musk's approach to transparency in relation to his Department of Government Efficiency, which was intentionally structured to evade federal public records laws. By operating as a standalone entity under the executive office rather than as a federal department, it aims to keep activities secret. Legal challenges have arisen, arguing that such a powerful agency should remain accountable and transparent. Experts predict that legal arguments about executive privilege may not protect this department the same way they do for others like the National Security Council.
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency was designed to operate outside federal public records laws, raising concerns about secrecy versus transparency in governance.
Several lawsuits are pushing for transparency regarding Musk's initiative, arguing that a powerful agency cannot operate entirely secretive and separate from public records laws.
