SEC Resists DOGE Request for Sensitive Data Access

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, led by Eliezer Mishory, has requested access to sensitive data from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including staff emails, contracts, and payment systems. The request has faced resistance from SEC Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda, who has implemented several reforms since taking office. The SEC has not publicly commented on the matter, while the DOGE team has been granted limited access to agency systems under certain conditions. The nature of the pushback remains unclear, raising questions about the implications of such extensive access to sensitive communications and data. This development comes amid ongoing efforts by the DOGE team to enhance efficiency and transparency within the agency. The situation highlights tensions between innovation initiatives and regulatory oversight in government agencies.
