Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency continues to tear through the federal government like a virus. DOGE has moved from one bureaucratic organ to the next, stopping at each juncture to fire people, seize data, and generally cause mayhem and distress. Now, as various legal challenges begin to pile up, Musk’s pro-corporate, anti-government organization is turning to two agencies that directly impact millions of Americans: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Social Security Administration.
On Thursday, an anonymous source communicated to Semafor that DOGE would soon be training its sights on the Social Security Administration. At least one DOGE staffer is preparing to “work with the agency,” the outlet reported. While there’s little information available as to what Musk’s group plans to do to America’s popular public benefits program, DOGE’s whole modus operandi has been to take a butcher’s knife to the agencies it “works” with, so it’s difficult to imagine that the changes will be helpful to the average American.
“It’s going to depend on what we find,” an anonymous source with knowledge of DOGE’s plans told Semafor. “There’s going to be reworks across the government, every agency.” Another person interviewed by the outlet said, of DOGE’s general strategy towards the government: “I think there’s an impulse to clean house, and to maybe freeze funding now. And then, if something’s really important, it will distinguish itself, and we’ll bring it back online … You’ve got to just move fast, integrate fast, and then fix it as you go.”
