Overview
- The GAO audit, launched in March, is examining DOGE's access to and potential misuse of sensitive government data across multiple federal agencies.
- Reports highlight concerns over untrained DOGE operatives handling critical systems, with incidents of disrupted services at agencies like Social Security.
- Elon Musk recently revised DOGE's projected savings to $150 billion for FY2026, a significant reduction from earlier claims of $1 trillion.
- House Democrats are pressuring Musk to resign by May 30, citing ethical concerns, service disruptions, and conflicts of interest tied to his private ventures.
- The GAO's findings, expected by late spring, could bring clarity to allegations of mismanagement and the true impact of DOGE's cost-cutting measures.
