A federal IT staffer filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had accessed sensitive information from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Following this complaint, a subsequent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) noted that DOGE team member accounts with system access had been deleted shortly before investigators could observe them. This deletion obscured digital records of DOGE’s access, leaving the GAO unable to definitively confirm the extent of their activities or the level of access granted. The NLRB, which handles sensitive information related to whistleblowers, trade secrets, and labor disputes, has seen its data access records compromised.

The Department of Government Efficiency, a cost-cutting initiative led by Elon Musk during the Trump administration, officially concluded on July 4, 2026. This project resulted in an estimated $11 billion budget hole and significant disruptions to federal agencies, including a gutted U.S. Agency for International Development. However, many agencies that experienced workforce reductions are now actively rehiring, with the Office of Personnel Management overseeing a “reshaping” of the federal workforce to fill identified gaps. This marks a notable shift from Musk’s prior mandate to drastically reduce federal employee numbers.

An analysis of his posts between May 31 and June 12 revealed that Musk posted 303 times on these UK-centric topics, compared to 114 posts about SpaceX. This intense focus on UK politics, often echoing far-right viewpoints, occurred despite the major business event and drew criticism from British government officials for potentially inciting division. Musk’s engagement, including reposting content from far-right figures, amplified their messages to millions of views, contributing to a perceived legitimization of fringe political elements.

Despite Elon Musk’s repeated claims that no child has died as a result of foreign aid cuts, journalists on the ground have begun to document and correct the record. These reporters, some of whom have witnessed the direct consequences firsthand, are providing names and specific instances of individuals, including young children, who have perished due to the termination of vital health programs. Reports highlight cases of deaths from preventable diseases like cholera, malaria, and HIV, directly linked to the cessation of medical supplies and healthcare worker support stemming from these policy changes. Critics argue that the dismantling of aid infrastructure has not only led to immediate fatalities but has also severely hampered the ability to accurately track long-term mortality impacts.

These suits accuse Musk and his political action committee, America PAC, of misleading voters with a publicized $1 million-a-day election giveaway. The judge recommended allowing a fraud claim to proceed, alleging voters were deceived into providing personal information by falsely advertising the giveaway as random, while suggesting a breach-of-contract claim be dismissed. This development signifies a significant step in the legal challenges surrounding Musk’s election-related activities.
