Musk's DOGE Team Allegedly Siphoned Sensitive Data from NLRB
2025-04-23
A whistleblower alleges that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) siphoned gigabytes of data from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)'s sensitive case files in early March. An investigation reveals a striking similarity between code downloaded from NLRB systems and a program published in January 2025 by DOGE employee Marko Elez, designed to bypass IP restrictions for web scraping and brute-forcing. Elez, who has worked for several Musk companies, faced public scrutiny for racist and eugenicist social media posts. This data breach could unfairly advantage defendants in ongoing labor disputes, as the stolen data includes sensitive employee information and proprietary business documents.
