SEC Stands Firm Against Musk’s DOGE Request for Internal Data

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is refusing a request from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to gain access to internal agency records. According to sources familiar with the matter, DOGE member Eliezer Mishory sought approval to review confidential emails, personnel files, contracts, and payment systems, but SEC leadership, led by Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda, has rejected the request. The extent of Mishory’s access or any changes made remains unclear. As a key regulator overseeing market activity, the SEC holds sensitive data related to ongoing investigations, whistleblowers, trading records, and market strategies. ]
