Summary
Multiple sources have alleged that Nikhil Rajpal, an engineer who previously worked with Elon Musk at Tesla, is now part of the CEO’s so-called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) task force.
Rajpal has been sighted in government records with both DOGE and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Employees at the NOAA have been ordered to grant Rajpal access to its Google sites, and oneemployee who was the agency’s lead on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, has been placed on administrative leave.
DOGE workers are said to have entered the NOAA’s Maryland facilities this week to seek “access to IT systems”.
The NOAA is a nonpartisan scientific agency that monitors and models the oceans and atmosphere to predict climate and weather changes.
DOGE workers are said to have taken over key government agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management and the General Services Administration; they are also blocking HIV/AIDS relief from reaching recipients as part of Musk and President Trump’s purge of the US Agency for International Development.
