Title makes it sound like he gave the info to his buddies who wanted it. No, the people working at DOGE had temporary access for carrying out their assigned work.
It is very hard to be anti-Elon when you have to fact check and dig into every anti-Elon story. If you just believe the headlines and talk to any skeptical right-winger, you're gonna look real stupid when Google searches come out
- Oh look, someone who has no fucking clue how the US government works, speaking bullshit with authority, and has the gall to be petulant about it.
  Fuck off.
- And why do they need personal data to carry out their jobs again? Wasn't this about government efficiency; as in: the bigger picture? Why concern yourself with the specifics of Johnathan Doe?
- Did the people who had "temporary access" have stringent security measures in place such that the access was not misused? No?
  Did they ensure that after the "temporary access" none of these people retained any of said information improperly? No again?
  Did any of the people pass background checks that normal government employees must pass before being given access to said data? No for a third time?
  Is there any reason to trust that they treated the data responsibly other than blind faith? No x4.
- Assigned by who? With what oversight?

  Absolutely
