Summary

The Intercept has uncovered Elon Musk’s government email address, erm71@who.eop.gov, and filed FOIA requests to access his correspondence as head of DOGE.

DOGE has rapidly cut federal staffing and spending but tries to claim exemption from FOIA due to its White House affiliation.

Watchdog groups argue DOGE wields agency-level power and are suing for transparency. Government responses on Musk’s role have been contradictory, fueling legal battles.

Pending lawsuits aim to classify DOGE as a FOIA-subject agency and force document disclosures.

    Hahahaha, his Official Government Email is his initials and year of birth.

    I wonder if his password is “TESLA S3XY”

    Someone posted the names and email address of every single DOGE employee on Bluesky. I have a copy but am not sure using it for anything at all beyond my own curiosity is probably illegal, including posting it anywhere. I think what they are doing to the US is awful but in years to come, when sanity returns, there will be a reckoning.

    Would be a shame if that address was inundated with everything the world has to offer.

    I’m surprised his email account username is that banal. I’d have thought it would be something fucking stupid like “sigmaleetbro420”.
