Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claims to prioritize transparency, yet questions arise about its actual openness. Reports suggest it is governed by the Presidential Records Act, meaning its records could remain sealed until 2034, raising concerns from experts like Jason R. Baron. Baron argues that DOGE's actions might qualify for the Freedom of Information Act, implying potential legal battles over transparency. This conflict contrasts with Musk's previous advocacy for government openness, highlighting the need for clarity on DOGE's practices and intentions.
"They are acting more like an agency than an entity that solely advises and assists the president," he told Business Insider.
Musk was once a staunch pro-transparency proponent. 'The strong bias with respect to government information is to make it available.'
