The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established under the Trump administration and led by Elon Musk, was ostensibly created to streamline federal operations and reduce waste. However, recent developments suggest that DOGE may serve as a conduit for foreign influence, particularly from Russia.
Has Musk positioned himself as a conduit to help destroy the American government—either on behalf of, or in exchange for compensation from, Vladimir Putin?
This is a followup to an earlier article outlining the dangers of Elon Musk to the US
The Whistleblower Who Pulled Back the Curtain
The clearest warning flare over DOGE’s true nature comes from an insider—Daniel Berulis, a whistleblower whose story is now making ripples across independent media. His claims are not vague allegations or partisan noise. Berulis has reportedly provided verifiable documentation, system logs, and most importantly, names—eleven individuals who can corroborate his account of what’s happening behind closed doors at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.Wikipedia – Die freie Enzyklopädie+3Truthout+3NPR+3
According to Berulis, DOGE operatives successfully infiltrated the National Labor Relations Board’s internal systems, creating admin-level accounts with full credentials. But what makes this particularly chilling is what happened after those credentials were created. Within minutes, those same login credentials were used—from IP addresses inside Russia—to access systems at the Department of Labor.Truthout+1NPR+1NPR+1Business Insider+1
This was not a one-off breach. It was a systematic, coordinated operation that aligned not just with DOGE’s tech teams, but also with known Russian intelligence tradecraft: digital access piggybacking on inside infrastructure, targeting whistleblower reports, union records, and federal labor investigations.
Berulis’s documents detail that the attackers specifically sought data related to labor organizing efforts and protected whistleblower disclosures—suggesting not just espionage for the sake of surveillance, but an attempt to dismantle organized resistance within the U.S. workforce. These are not typical cybercriminal targets. These are strategic objectives aimed at weakening U.S. institutional integrity from within.
And the stakes for Berulis? Life-threatening. After contacting a whistleblower protection agency, he returned home to find a handwritten threat taped to his apartment door—along with a drone-captured photo of him walking his dog. He had only recently moved. His address was unlisted.
The message couldn’t be clearer: we’re watching.
Whether that “we” includes DOGE’s internal apparatus, or foreign agents using DOGE as a digital Trojan horse, the conclusion is the same: Berulis exposed a state-level infiltration—and someone wanted to shut him up.
The Bigger Picture: DOGE’s Expanding Reach
Beyond the whistleblower’s revelations, DOGE’s actions have raised alarms across multiple federal agencies. Reports indicate that DOGE operatives have gained access to sensitive data on immigrants, farm workers, and formerly incarcerated individuals through systems like the National Farmworker Jobs Program and the Foreign Labor Application Gateway . Such access could potentially be misused for targeted enforcement or surveillance.WIRED
Furthermore, a federal judge recently limited DOGE’s access to Social Security data, citing privacy and security concerns . The injunction restricts DOGE staff to anonymized data and mandates the purging of non-anonymized data obtained since January 20. This legal action underscores the growing unease about DOGE’s expansive reach into sensitive government databases.Wikipedia+2AP News+2axios.com+2
Conclusion
While direct evidence linking DOGE to Russian operations remains circumstantial, the convergence of security breaches, personnel with Russian ties, and political maneuvering within the department raises significant concerns. As DOGE continues to wield influence over federal operations, it is imperative to investigate and address potential vulnerabilities that could compromise national security.
