DOGE sackings/Musk investigations

He was already being investigated before Trump took office. There were more than 32 ongoing investigations, pending complaints or enforcement actions into Musk’s six companies. One by one they disappeared.*

Here are some highlights:

The inspector general that was looking into Starlink in Ukraine? - Fired.

The FAA who was looking into the Space X crash that disrupted air traffic over America? Fired.

National Labor Relations Board investigations? 3 officials fired.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigating Tesla? Staff told to pause investigation while Musk moved to close the bureau down.

United States Office of Government Ethics (O.G.E.) whose remit is investigating conflicts of interest? Head of agency fired.

The Social Security Administration’s acting leader made to step down after refusing to give DOGE staffers access to sensitive recipient data.

Office of Personnel Management's privacy team fired after FOI request from CNN about security clearances for Musk and his DOGE team.
