GAO Launches Investigation into Elon Musk's DOGE Agency

The probe seeks to uncover potential misuse of federal systems and assess DOGE's controversial practices in government reform.

  • The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has officially initiated an investigation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk.
  • The investigation focuses on potential misuse of federal systems and data, requesting detailed incident reports, policies, and procedures from DOGE.
  • DOGE operatives, many with no prior government auditing experience, have been accused of conducting aggressive raids on federal agencies, leading to significant workforce reductions.
  • The GAO is also examining the safeguards in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of federal systems and information accessed by DOGE.
  • Critics, including Democrats and watchdog groups, have raised concerns over DOGE's operational overreach and lack of accountability since its inception.
