Summary
The Intercept has uncovered Elon Musk’s government email address, [email protected], and filed FOIA requests to access his correspondence as head of DOGE.
DOGE has rapidly cut federal staffing and spending but tries to claim exemption from FOIA due to its White House affiliation.
Watchdog groups argue DOGE wields agency-level power and are suing for transparency. Government responses on Musk’s role have been contradictory, fueling legal battles.
Pending lawsuits aim to classify DOGE as a FOIA-subject agency and force document disclosures.
On one hand I’m glad someone is still playing by the rules.
On the other hand I suspect that their FoI requests will be ignored.
I’m sure a judge will rule them to be out of compliance within the year
