Elon Musk’s DOGE Posts Classified Data On Its New Website

Posted on February 15, 2025 by Dissent

Jennifer Bendery reports:

Elon Musk’s team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new website, raising bigger concerns about where Musk’s programmers got this information and what they are doing with it.

DOGE, which President Donald Trump created to purportedly root out waste in the federal government, launched its website on Wednesday night with a feature allowing users to “trace your tax dollars through the bureaucracy.” People can navigate through all federal agencies and offices for details about their head counts, budgets and average ages of employees.

The website states in tiny print at the bottom that its database excludes information from U.S. intelligence agencies.

But an easy search shows that DOGE’s database provides details on the National Reconnaissance Office, the federal agency that designs, builds and maintains U.S. intelligence satellites. Not only are NRO’s budgets and head counts classified, but the prospect of Musk’s tech team meddling in sensitive personnel information is setting off alarms for some in the intelligence community.

    I see no problem with DOGE, classified is not secret. This should available to the public. We wanted President Trump to cut wastful spending and he is. That is why he got elected. Democrat politicians need to knock off their B.S and get on board , for the good of this country.

      “Classified” means sensitive info that is restricted to only those with the appropriate security clearance. As long as it was “classified,” DOGE screwed up, regardless of whether you like them or not. If the govt wants to declassify info to make it public, it can do so, but the declassification has to occur before it is accessed by people who do not have the appropriate security clearance. Democrats and Independents — and Republicans who haven’t rolled over — should insist that laws be followed, especially those that might put national security at risk.
