President Trump appears to have granted Elon Musk carte blanche to send his lackeys into government agencies to carry out Musk’s self-serving agenda, allowing them to (often illegally) access and alter critical systems with no oversight. In lieu of government transparency, all that we can rely on are media reports and other publicly available evidence. That’s why we’re compiling what has been made public in one place.
We will be updating this list as more reporting comes out. If any of these reports are unreliable, or you spot additional information, please email us at [email protected].
- This list contains 110 individuals who have reportedly been involved with DOGE, ranging from those who were involved only during the transition to the people currently carrying out DOGE’s mission across the federal government.
- Of these reported DOGE agents, RDP has found that at least 46 individuals have direct ties to Elon Musk and his companies, as detailed in the spreadsheet below. We consider someone to be directly tied to Musk if they or their spouse have worked for one of Musk’s companies, have direct personal investments in Musk’s companies, have worked for a firm with considerable investments in Musk’s companies, or otherwise have a substantial personal or professional relationship with Musk.
RDP is also publishing longer profiles of these reported DOGE employees, including who they are, where they came from, and any conflicts of interest that might make their unfettered access to the federal government dangerous to the public. View them here.
