The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by President Donald Trump and led by Elon Musk, has come under scrutiny after posting classified details about a U.S. intelligence agency on its newly launched website.
🔥 What Happened?
- DOGE launched its public-facing database on Wednesday night, allowing users to trace tax dollars through federal agencies.
- The website explicitly states that it excludes intelligence agency data, yet classified information regarding the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) has been discovered.
- The NRO, responsible for U.S. spy satellite operations, has strictly classified its budgets and personnel details.
- Intelligence community insiders are now scrambling to determine if their sensitive information has been accessed.
👀 Why Is This a Big Deal?
📢 “DOGE just posted secret NOFORN info on their website about [intelligence community] headcount.” – Anonymous DIA Employee
🔹 What is NOFORN? – “Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals” – meaning this data is strictly restricted and cannot be shared with foreign entities. 🔹 Intelligence experts warn that exposing this information could provide adversaries insight into the U.S.’s national security priorities. 🔹 Musk’s SpaceX currently holds a $1.8 billion contract with the NRO to build spy satellites, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
💥 National Security Fallout
🛑 Intelligence community members express alarm that Musk’s team may have accessed more data than intended. 🛑 Senate aides confirm that the NRO’s budget and personnel numbers are classified for a reason – to prevent adversaries from estimating U.S. intelligence capabilities. 🛑 Questions arise: How did DOGE obtain this information? Is more classified data at risk?
🔻 White House Response
📢 White House Spokesperson: “DOGE did not share classified information, any assertion to the contrary is a lie. Yesterday, the accusation was DOGE was not transparent, and today, the accusation is DOGE is too transparent. Stop the fearmongering.”
Despite these claims, the data remains accessible on the DOGE website, fueling concerns over potential breaches.
🚀 What’s Next?
🔹 Will the government take action to secure classified intelligence? 🔹 Is DOGE truly cutting waste, or is it putting national security at risk? 🔹 Will this spark congressional investigations into Musk’s handling of federal data?
