Officials from the Trump administration have informed some federal employees that the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is using artificial intelligence to monitor internal communications within multiple federal agencies in an effort to identify remarks unfavorable to Trump and his policies. Sources say this move has raised concerns within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where some managers have been warned to "watch their words." The technologies used by the DOGE team include Signal encryption communication and Grok AI, owned by Musk. Reports also point out that the operations of DOGE lack transparency, raising concerns about data security and government ethics. It is alleged that DOGE personnel have circumvented normal record-keeping processes by using ephemeral messages and collaborative documents, sparking external doubts. The EPA responded that it is evaluating the potential for AI to optimize administrative processes but did not directly address whether it is being used to monitor employees; the White House, DOGE, and Musk have declined to comment.
