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].
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.
