These contradictory and confusing statements leave everything perfectly unclear except the inescapable conclusion that President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Administration have been consistently lying to the courts or to the American people, or both, about who is in charge of DOGE.
Americans deserve a complete accounting of what government databases DOGE has access to; the extent of DOGE staffers’ ability not only to view but also override and rewrite these databases; what precautions, if any, they are taking to protect this highly sensitive data; and why DOGE is accessing vast amounts of data that President Trump admits it does not need.
Mr. Musk’s AI company, xAI, could gain a huge advantage over its rivals if allowed to train on a treasure trove of government data.
We are citizens of a strong democracy and not subjects of an oligarchical techno-state. Like Joe Biden before him, Donald Trump was elected President and not king. By filing these FOIA requests, which every American has the right to make in order to demand transparency from our government, we demand to know about DOGE’s leadership structure, legal authority, and potential conflicts of interest; its involvement with the government-wide firing of personnel; and its treatment of sensitive data and AI. The President, Mr. Musk, and DOGE can and will be held accountable to the American people, the original and ultimate source of all sovereign power in the United States of America.
