Odaily Planet Daily News According to Reuters on March 28, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has been granted access to the systems and data of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC plans to set up a liaison team to cooperate with DOGE, but its specific intentions are unclear. Previously, DOGE tried to shut down USAID and CFPB and cut federal employees, triggering lawsuits alleging that its actions were illegal. U.S. President Trump signed an executive order in January authorizing DOGE to cut costs, but Musk's "fast breaking routine" approach has worried officials and lawmakers. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce declined to comment, and new chairman candidate Paul Atkins expressed his willingness to work with DOGE. (Cointelegraph)
