Leading Democrats on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee are pressing NASA for transparency over an employee from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They raised concerns after learning someone from DOGE would be assigned to NASA, but officials withheld the individual's identity and details about their access to key systems. This followed a letter from Reps. Zoe Lofgren and Valerie Foushee, questioning DOGE personnel involvement. Democrats insist on the need for NASA to disclose the employee's identity, emphasizing that there is no legitimate reason to withhold such information.
As such, he will have all necessary access to NASA owned or managed resources as required for his duties, in compliance with all laws and regulations regarding the protection of IT resources and classified information.
NASA failed to disclose this information in its response to the Committee. But there is no legitimate rationale for withholding this individual's identity, given his status as an employee of the agency.
