This sounds like an Orwellian nightmare: Elon Musk, not an elected government representative, got access to a system which proceeds payments to American citizens with all the sensitive data included, tax refunds, medical payments etc., companies receiving federal payments. Sensitive private data of American citizens in the hands of a businessman with no government responsibility?
DOGE to my knowledge is not a federal institution. Isn’t there any data protection in the US? How do people feel about this situation?
