Elon Musk Denies Existence of US Education Department Amid Controversy Over DOGE Involvement

Elon Musk, heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Donald Trump's administration, sparked debate by stating, "No such department exists in federal," after DOGE members gained access to the US Department of Education. This follows reports of Musk's team accessing sensitive systems, including student loan databases, raising privacy concerns for millions. The Trump administration aims to defund and potentially dismantle the department, citing inefficiency. Critics argue this could disrupt federal student aid and civil rights enforcement in schools, with legal challenges already underway.
