The DOGE 100: Musk is out, but more than 100 of his followers remain to implement Trump’s blueprint

At least 38 DOGE members currently work or have worked for businesses run by Musk , ProPublica found.

At least nine have invested in Musk companies or own stock in them, a review of available financial disclosure forms shows.

One member tasked with overseeing mass layoffs at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau , for instance, did so while owning stock in companies the agency regulated.

ProPublica pored through archived resumes, federal financial disclosures forms, online databases and other documents.

We looked at the professional experience they brought to government and whether their assignments in DOGE could pose conflicts of interest.

Potential conflicts of interests are increasing, including one staffer who was paid between $100,001 and $1 million by Musk ’s boss’ company.

ProPublica identified 21 DOGE staffers with previous government roles, including stints at DOJ and NASA .

That means more than 80% joined the government dismantling effort without previously working in government.

Few had experience working in state or federal government.

Experts say secrecy has been part of its overall strategy, allowing it to obscure its work from watchdogs.
