Tech billionaire Elon Musk received an official status in the government of Donald Trump: he was a “special government officer,” said a spokeswoman for the White House. This status is intended for people who will not work for more than 130 days within a year for more than 130 days.
Ethical rules apply to such employees. For example, they may not be involved in matters that influence their financial interests. Trump had commissioned Musk to reduce the government spending of the United States. The DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which is connected to the White House, was also established after a name proposal from the entrepreneur.
Musk has repeatedly posted on his platform X how he wants to lower government spending. For example, it is planned to largely close the USAID development agency. Commission employees have already tried to obtain confidential information in central access, as media reported. Two highly security officers had refused and were released shortly thereafter.
Sunning against access to the payment system
As reported, Elon Musk and his confidants also have access to a payment system from the US Department of Finance. For example, payments to government employees and pensioners and pensioners are treated by this. Trade unions now want to complain because access from their point of view is illegal and data protection is contrary.
Trump said that Musk could collect information based on which government employees could be released.
