Elon Musk’s Fed Audit Threat: A Dangerous Game?
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is auditing federal agencies, including a focus on the Federal Reserve, which Musk has long criticized for its monetary policies and alleged overstaffing. Musk asserts that all government entities, especially the Fed, must be transparent and accountable. This audit follows Musk’s previous public statements calling for lower interest rates and questioning the Fed’s employee count, a claim Fed Chair Jerome Powell refuted. A federal judge recently blocked DOGE’s access to Treasury records following a lawsuit.
