Elon Musk At CIA Headquarters; DOGE Chief Holds Meeting With Agency Director

Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, is currently also the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE ), which has been accused of grabbing power in Washington, despite not being an elected official.

Elon Musk's Rising Influence

The Tesla, SpaceX and X boss's influence and the ever-increasing extent of the same is now almost irrefutable.

After holding a meeting with the all-important Pentagon or the US Defence department, Musk was at another major US government organisation.

Elon Musk visited the US intelligence agency, the Central Investigation Agency or CIA.

Musk took to his own social media platform X, to share the news. Musk shared images of him at the CIA headquarters.

Musk is seen next to CIA director John Ratcliiffe. He also posed in front of the Lockheed Martin's Archangel-12.

Ratcliiffe also took to X to talk about the meeting he had with Musk.

In the post, he said, "Had a great visit and meeting with @ElonMusk to discuss his ideas and progress so far in making our government more efficient! I look forward to working with Elon and his team to ensure that CIA remains the premier intelligence Agency in the world."

Musk Defends DOGE

These meetings come at a time, when Elon Musk has been defending his and his agency (DOGE's) actions in the light of the myriad protests that have targeted Musk's EV maker, Tesla.

In a recent interview with Fox News, Musk defended his record at DOGE, and claimed that Everything that DOGE does is an open book.

According to Musk, the quasi department is the "most" transparent organization in government.

Reffering to the public scrutiny, he said, "I am under such an extreme spotlight, so much scrutiny, that it's literally impossible for me to get away with anything nefarious, nor do I wish to".
