President Donald Trump stated that Elon Musk would not be involved in space-related government decisions to avoid conflicts of interest. Trump emphasized that Musk, although serving as a senior adviser, does not make decisions within the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Critics have raised concerns about Musk’s access to sensitive taxpayer information through DOGE, including a recent case where IRS data might be given to Musk’s team. Some fear this could lead to misuse of data or violations of federal laws. However, Trump remains committed to Musk’s mission of tackling government waste. Legal challenges continue, including a court ruling rejecting restrictions on DOGE’s access. Critics, including Democratic senators, have demanded more transparency about Musk’s influence and potential risks tied to his role in federal oversight.
