Elon Musk's Government Efficiency Staff (DOGE) is set up to access data at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Wired tells several sources.
In an early morning email on Friday, CFPB staff members reportedly reported several Doge people, including Nikhil Rajpal and Gavin Kriger (along with Chris Young, who is said to be the Republican political adviser associated with Elon Musk), on Thursday. He was told he noticed the building in the evening. . The email confirmed that Doge employees receive “read-only” access in accordance with a message sent Thursday by CFPB Chief Operating Officer Adam Martinez, and the email said it was CFPB data, systems and equipment He said access to the site is necessary.
“The Doges arrive tonight and will be back tomorrow. They will need read-only access to HR (HR Connect/NFC), procurement (PRISM), and Finance (Discoverer) systems,” Martinez said. It's there. “We let them know that we're using BFS/ARC, so if they already have access, they should be able to pull our data. Otherwise, we'll be able to go to BFS/ARC. If you are not able to access it, you will need to work with them to fill out the necessary forms to access it. “BFS/ARC is the Bureau of the Management Resource Centre for Financial Services, and many government agencies have the opportunity to travel dates. We provide management services such as welfare benefits.
The CFPB was approved by the Dodd-Frank Act in the aftermath of predatory and deceptive behavior in the banking sector that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Independent bodies have directions to investigate and reform these financial institutions. CFPB Systems Doge staff can include information related to CFPB staff, such as performance reviews, pay and benefits, sources tell Wired.
Doge staff are also looking to gain access to procurement and financial data from other institutions. Last week, Wired reported that Elon Musk's Doge team gained access to a variety of government systems and infrastructure, including sensitive payment systems housed at the Treasury and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“All three receive CFPB laptops and have PIV cards as well, so they get access as if they were detailed people assigned to us or one of our own employees. You're given permission. Again, they're only looking for read-only access,” CFPB Mail said. A PIV card is a government-issued verification of an individual's identity.

Another source confirmed that DOGE members appear in the internal directory of CFPB.
