Elon Musk’s role in DOGE has influenced renewed access to Social Security data, following a Supreme Court ruling that raises major privacy concerns and legal challenges.

Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, installed a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal at the White House in March – despite warnings from security officials that doing so could open the administration to potential data leak and espionage risks.
