Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls, the Justice Department revealed in newly disclosed court papers.

Elizabeth Shapiro, a top Justice Department official, said SSA referred both DOGE employees for potential violations of the Hatch Act, which bars government employees from using their official positions for political purposes.

Shapiro’s previously unreported disclosure, dated Friday, came as part of a list of “corrections” to testimony by top SSA officials during last year’s legal battles over DOGE’s access to Social Security data. They revealed that DOGE team members shared data on unapproved “third-party” servers and may have accessed private information that had been ruled off-limits by a court at the time.

Shapiro said the case of the two DOGE team members appeared to undermine a previous assertion by SSA that DOGE’s work was intended to “detect fraud, waste and abuse” in Social Security and modernize the agency’s technology.

“SSA believed those statements to be accurate at the time they were made, and they are largely still accurate,” Shapiro wrote, adding “At this time, there is no evidence that SSA employees outside of the involved members of the DOGE Team were aware of the communications with the advocacy group. Nor were they aware of the ‘Voter Data Agreement.’”

Shapiro, a longtime DOJ veteran, said it’s not yet clear whether either of the two DOGE team members — who are not identified in her filing – actually shared data with the advocacy group, which is also unidentified. But she said emails “suggest that DOGE Team members could have been asked to assist the advocacy group by accessing SSA data to match to the voter rolls.”

The White House and SSA officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Shapiro also revealed that Steve Davis, a senior adviser to Musk and DOGE’s team, was copied on a March 3, 2025 email that included a password-protected file containing private information of about 1,000 people contained in Social Security systems. It’s unclear, she said, whether Davis ever accessed the file. And Shapiro said current SSA employees have been unable to access the file to determine precisely what it contained.

Though SSA stands by its claim that DOGE “never had access to SSA systems of record,” its possible that some of the restricted data “derived from” Social Security systems was sent to Davis, she said.

Davis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Also among the corrections: DOJ revealed that a DOGE team member was briefly granted access to private Social Security profiles even after a court prohibited it. Shapiro said the access was never “utilized.” And in another instance, a DOGE team member had access for two months to a “call center profile” that contained private information.

“It is unknown at this time whether any [private information] was accessed,” Shapiro said.

Shapiro also revealed that despite prior assertions in court, SSA’s DOGE team members “were using links to share data through the third-party server ‘Cloudflare.’”

“Cloudflare is not approved for storing SSA data and when used in this manner is outside SSA’s security protocols,” Shapiro indicated. “SSA did not know, until its recent review, that DOGE Team members were using Cloudflare during this period. Because Cloudflare is a third-party entity, SSA has not been able to determine exactly what data were shared to Cloudflare or whether the data still exist on the server.”

No shit. Elon sold the data to India and their scammers.

No refunds.

If Elon got Trump elected then I’m willing to accept the pedophila, corruption, economic damage and destruction of our global hegemony if it means the libs were owned somewhat. Elon is the smartest, handsomest, strongest and most virile male specimen on the planet.

>Thing That Everyone Warned Would Happen
No, you faggots repeatedly "warned" that Elon Musk would be stealing my identity, not using Doge to combat election fraud. I, like most Americans, support combatting election fraud, but it makes sense why Democrats would not.
>>
>>1479592
Protip: Giving your social security number to random ass political orgs doesn't combat election fraud, but feel free to prove me wrong.
>>
>MAY have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls

OH NOES! Anyway...

Only a year ago they were gonna be this ray of sunshine that was going to expose fraud while being completely transparent. And people bought this crap.

Stopping voter fraud is not "overturning elections"

Trump Lives Matter.
Saint Trump Will Save You.

>Stopping voter fraud
Stealing people's private information doesn't stop voter fraud.

It does, however, enable it when these jackasses eventually lose track of the social security numbers they stole and people get their identities stolen.
>>
>>1479735
If you haven't had your identity stolen it is only because the scammers haven't gotten down far enough in the list. All federal workers had their direct deposit information hacked at least 7 times in the last 15 years. Most fortune 500 companies and several major banks, and universities have had the same data breach. Voter rolls are already public and hundreds of districts have had their databases of personal information hacked.

Everyone is already compromsed.
>>
>>1479737
Personal information yes, Social Security no. This was highly fucking guarded prior to this admin handing them over to a bunch of fresh out of college retards who then shared them over fucking cloudflare.

Notice how this was leaked and not clumsily handed out.
>>
>>1479790
What's the difference?
>>
>>1479791
What's the difference between someone breaking into your safe by force and some retard leaving the combination out?
>>
>>1479792
Nothing, because my safe is easily accessible regardless.

You're twisting yourself into knots because trump bad.
>>
>>1479806
>Guys it's fine we handed this info over to be stolen because someone could've stolen it anyway
Cuck.
>>
>>1479792
Sort of like the difference between Trump storing classified documents at the Mar-A-Lago and Biden storing classified documents in his garage.
The latter co-operated with his own investigation, while the former had a hostile SWAT raid that CNN was tipped off to. Like they were tipped off to the raid of Roger Stone
>>
>>1479644
Oh, you're one of those idiots that doesn't read past the headlines.
>>
>>1479814
I didn't read the headline either
>>
>>1479807
It was stolen years ago retard.
>>
>>1479918
Even if that's true giving it away to these fuckers just makes it worse.
