The Department of Justice disclosed in a court filing that members of Elon Musk's DOGE team may have accessed Social Security information beyond a court ruling's limits. The filing also notes they shared agency data on an unapproved third-party server. This admission comes from the Trump administration after a legal battle over DOGE's access to Social Security data to uncover fraud.

At least two DOGE employees communicated with a political advocacy group analyzing state voter rolls to challenge election results. One signed a 'Voter Data Agreement' with the group, though the filing states there's no indication they shared Social Security data. The Social Security Administration referred both for potential Hatch Act violations and could not determine what data was shared or if it remains on the server.

The disclosures were filed as corrections in U.S. District Court for Maryland. The Justice Department noted the SSA believed its original statements were accurate at the time and remain largely so. This incident raises questions about data governance and oversight within government-affiliated teams, especially those leveraging sensitive information for political purposes.
