Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is leading a team known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is not an official US government department, in a move to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The DOGE team has reached out to the SEC for access to the commission's systems and data, with plans for the agency to establish a liaison team to collaborate with them. Following normal procedures for ethics requirements, IT security, and system training, the SEC intends to work with the DOGE representatives and grant access to restricted systems and data. Since assuming office as US President, Donald Trump has authorized DOGE to implement cost-cutting measures, sparking legal challenges against Musk's actions from parties alleging they were illegal or unconstitutional. This is an ongoing story, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
