Elon Musk’s DOGE: Transparency Claims Amid Secrecy Concerns

Elon Musk, appointed by President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has publicly emphasized the importance of transparency in his role.

In a recent Oval Office appearance alongside President Trump, Musk stated, “Transparency is what builds trust,” asserting that all of DOGE’s initiatives are accessible via their social media channels and official website.

Despite these assurances, concerns have been raised regarding the actual transparency of DOGE’s operations.

Reports indicate that many aspects of the department, including its internal workings and the identities of its staff, remain undisclosed.

For instance, some DOGE team members have refrained from sharing their last names during interactions with federal employees, a practice that has drawn criticism for contradicting principles of public service and accountability.

Furthermore, Musk has not engaged with journalists or lawmakers since assuming his role, avoiding public scrutiny. This lack of engagement has led to criticisms that DOGE operates without clear oversight or accountability.

These actions have led to criticisms that DOGE lacks transparency and operates without clear oversight or accountability.
