Senators Urge Removal of DOGE Staff from CFPB over Concerns About Musk

According to Odaily, two U.S. Democratic Senators have called for the removal of staff from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) linked to Elon Musk from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff argue that the presence of these staff members undermines the agency responsible for regulating the billionaire's yet-to-be-established payment business. They expressed concerns that Musk is not only suppressing the consumer protection agency overseeing the X digital wallet but may also gain access to confidential company data, potentially giving X an unfair advantage over competitors. Earlier this month, DOGE staff entered the agency, disrupting operations and temporarily shutting down its headquarters.
