Overview

• Investigations on June 30 reveal DOGE aides still hold 'God tier' access to private information in seven key government departments.
• The unit’s reach includes competitor trade secrets, nonpublic contract details and sensitive regulatory records.
• There is no evidence DOGE staffers misused the data, but experts warn it could give Musk’s firms an unfair commercial advantage.
• At least 20 DOGE aides previously worked for Musk’s companies, highlighting conflicts of interest after data safeguards were dismantled.
• Federal courts have curtailed DOGE’s data access and declared it subject to FOIA; GAO audits are now examining its revised savings estimates.
