Musk's govt audit team asks citizens to report abuse, corruption in NASA

Washington, Feb 18 (UNI) The US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has launched separate accounts on his social network X related to the audit of government agencies and is asking citizens to report violations.
The central DOGE account on X now has more than 30 "related" ones, they concern government agencies, including the Pentagon, NASA and others.
"DOGE is seeking help from the public! Please DM this account with insights on finding and fixing waste, fraud, and abuse at NASA," the first publication in DOGE_NASA account says.
Created by decision of US President Donald Trump, DOGE is designed to cut wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies.
Musk also heads the company Space X, which is engaged in the creation of spacecraft, commercial launches and launches under contract with the US government. The new agency has faced a wave of criticism and concerns that Musk is accessing too much of citizens' sensitive and personal information, such as Social Security and taxes. Trump has praised the billionaire, saying he is uncovering huge amounts of fraud. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the first to be accused of corruption and abuse.
