Is it transparent? Elon got angry when people merely listed the names of some DOGE employees. I still don't think we know the full list of people working under him (and according to court filings, the government claims he isn't even the administrator of DOGE but can't name who is). We also won't be able to get access to DOGE records until well after Trump is out of office [1]. That doesn't sound like maximal transparency to me.

We don't even know what DOGE is and whether Musk is running it. LeagleEagle hasn't a clue[1], the courts are slow at finding out and the Republicans in Congress are useless at what Congress is supposed to do. Musk is overstepping even the powers of the president but I don't see anyone trying to sue him and Trump for treason.

That would be...interesting... but there is no standing for suing individuals for "treason" as far as I am aware. The inmates run the asylum.

I’m reading a NYT article about outcomes they’ve claimed to create, looks pretty transparent.

There’s lots of things about organizations, especially government orgs, that aren’t public info. Naming the employees would create stochastic terror opportunities, for instance. Individual contributors should be able to work without being harassed or worse.

The management gives the media daily opportunities to ask questions.
