Since many of us suspect one of DOGE's purposes was to steal data, this brings up some questions.
Did he freelance and steal data for himself and that's why they are investigating him?
Or is this some fallout from the Trump/Musk split?
Because he was presumably hired because he knew how to steal data, so "he stole data" alone doesn't seem like a reason the Trump DOJ would go after him.
(There could also be a case where this is some random FBI agent who thought his job still was to investigate crime and this will all get fixed up and that officer fired fairly quickly.)
