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.
I mean that’s not that crazy. Most government emails I’ve dealt with are like lastnamefirstname or something similar. Birth year is a new one.
I’m not making an address called ‘suckmy@doge.gov’ -some tired network admin somewhere
