  • Bait and Switch The fine print of a sweeping executive order seemingly grants Elon Musk, arguably the wealthiest and most powerful unelected figure in the world, and his associates at the somehow-still-real Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to all unclassified data held by US government agencies,
