Was the Department of Government Efficiency planning on hiring a non-American?
The Department of Government Efficiency is currently one of the most talked about departments of the ongoing Trump administration, especially because of its work around the federal payment system, and getting access to the financial data of millions of Americans.
However, now a piece of new information has surfaced, where it is being claimed that Musk was on the verge of hiring someone who was a non-American for working at DOGE. However, his plan was cut short by Trump’s own advisers at the last minute, according to The Independent’s report.
Baris Akis, a Turkish-born venture capitalist is a green card holder in the US and is a close ally of Musk, but when the Tesla CEO began planning on bringing him into DOGE, he was met with an ‘equivocal no’ from Trump’s advisers, especially because this hiring could send a confusing message across the world, since President Trump is working extensively on mass deportations of illegal immigrants from various countries.
