Trump Admin Admits Elon Musk's DOGE Accessed Social Security Data Illegally

  • The Trump administration admitted in a federal court filing that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) accessed and shared sensitive Social Security data without authorization.
  • Whistleblowers' allegations are confirmed, revealing DOGE, led by Elon Musk, bypassed security protocols to obtain protected personal information.
  • A 'Voter Data Agreement' was discovered, signed by a DOGE employee with a political advocacy group aiming to use federal data for 'voter fraud' and election interference.
  • DOGE members used Cloudflare, an unapproved third-party service, to share data links, making it impossible for SSA to track shared data.
  • An encrypted file with personal information for 1,000 individuals was emailed by a DOGE staffer, which the SSA cannot access due to password protection.
