This is either woefully naive or active disinformation.

Edit: OP dramatically edited their post. It originally made all kinds of claims of process and propriety that just aren't happening. This was the original that I was replying to:

”Most of the animosity comes from misunderstanding. Trump tasked "DOGE" with reviewing government spending across it's 400+ agencies, and coming up with recommendations on how to reduce wasteful spending. They have 1 year to complete this task. To make sensible recommendations, DOGE needs data about the major programs within each agency. They can't tackle each agency consecutively, since there are more agencies than days until the deadline, so they are parallelising the work.

The access is read only, and they are not linking personal data between agencies, but rather doing a bunch of separate audits in parallel.

Trump has prohibited Musk from being involved in with the review in agencies where he was a material conflict (FAA for example).”
