US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk
An executive order pretty recently issued from US President Donald Trump has eventually established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which seemingly grants Tesla CEO Elon Musk and all of his associates an access to all unclassified data held by US government agencies, reported Futurism.

According to Futurism, this order actually repurposes the United States Digital Service (USDS) while allowing DOGE to operate with minimal transparency oversight. Several critics have raised severe concerns that this could eventually lead to surveillance and targeting of specific populations by utilizing government held data.

The move has been legitimately described as a strategic bureaucratic maneuver that eventually integrates DOGE into the federal framework while specifically enabling Tesla CEO Elon Musk to leverage vast amounts of federal data for various purposes, asserted Futurism. Numerous experts issued a warning that this could lead to dystopian outcomes as there are fears about how this technical talent might be directed specifically in tracking opponents or groups of interest.


While DOGE is actually tasked with modernizing federal technology and improving efficiency, at the same time, the lack of clear oversight raises alarms about the implications for privacy and civil liberties, noted Futurism.
