An FBI agent, Kevin Gounaud, pushed for a criminal investigation into Elon Musk in 2025 after Musk asked federal employees to list their weekly accomplishments via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Gounaud argued that Musk's actions wasted official time, violated information security policies, and enriched Musk through his use of X (formerly Twitter). However, it's unclear if an investigation was opened.
