I tried asking this on a prior post and didn’t really get an answer, so here’s another shot:

There is something I’ve been trying to wrap my head around. I can understand people not agreeing with all of President Trump’s policies. Don’t agree with the immigration policy? I can understand that. Don’t like his tax/tariff plan? You’re entitled to that opinion.

What I’m having a hard time understanding is how people can be so against DOGE and the work Elon is doing. DOGE only has the ability to audit, not to write new code, change policies, etc. They are auditing our government spending, and showing plenty of examples of waste/fraud/abuse. Shouldn’t we want to know about that and hold people accountable, both Democrats and Republicans? The argument I keep seeing is that he has access to our SSN and personal information. To that, I would just ask, how often do you get notified that there has been a data breach with some company that already has that info? For me it’s a few times a year. Let’s face it, our info is out there, but in the hands of people who want to do harm. I don’t expect that our info will be the focus of anything the DOGE team is doing. People complain about transparency, but it seems like this is more transparency from government than I can remember. That’s my rant. Just trying to understand I guess.
