Elon Musk’s Data Coup: ACLU Sounds Alarm on Unconstitutional DOGE Takeover
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has allegedly taken control of federal systems, raising constitutional concerns. The ACLU warns this may violate federal law by accessing sensitive data, including Social Security numbers. They’re seeking transparency, stressing the potential risk to millions of Americans’ personal information.
Hot Take:
Well, folks, it looks like Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is taking a page out of the “Mission: Impossible” playbook, but with less Tom Cruise and more snooping around federal databases. If you thought the only thing you had to worry about was your Tesla driving itself into a pole, think again! Now, it seems you might also have to worry about your Social Security number being used for Musk’s next rocket launch. Who knew efficiency could be so… ineffable?
Key Points:
- ACLU accuses DOGE of unauthorized access to federal computer systems.
- DOGE’s access includes sensitive data on federal employees and U.S. citizens.
- ACLU files FOIA requests to uncover DOGE’s activities and access details.
- Concerns raised over deployment of AI tools without privacy impact assessments.
- ACLU demands Congress ensure presidential adherence to privacy laws.
