The AFL-CIO and several former OSHA officials have raised concerns about the possibility that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency could potentially gain access to sensitive information.

While Musk serves as a “special government employee” in the Trump administration, SpaceX, and The Boring Company are the subject of more than 50 ongoing workplace health and safety cases opened by OSHA in the past five years .

Of the 46 Tesla cases in which OSHA issued citations over the last five years , the memo cites twenty-seven that remain open because the car company is actively disputing them with the agency.

Former OSHA administrators say the agency does house records that would anonymize whistleblowers, as well as employees who participated in anonymous interviews with agency investigators.
