Musk has devised X tactic to coverup 'incredibly illegal' DOGE action: reporter

Raw Story  

The White House clouded the already murky authority structure of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency in a court filing arguing that Elon Musk isn't even an employee of the advisory panel — and a reporter who has covered its inner workings tried to make sense of that Wednesday. The administration has promised "radical transparency" on various endeavors, but Wired reporter Makena Kelly, whose work helped unmask some of the otherwise undisclosed DOGE employees, agreed with Bolduan the agency was anything but that. "You can tell just by the way that DOGE is even set up," said Kelly, a senior political correspondent for the tech publication. DOGE has been hit with multiple lawsuits over its alleged violations of privacy laws and the legality of its work, but Kelly said that Musk apparently believes he's been transparent about his actions because of the way he defines that word.
