CFPB Employees Protest Against Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Over Alleged Data Breach and Regulatory Threats

On February 9, COINOTAG reported that personnel from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) staged a protest outside the agency’s main office in Washington, D.C. The demonstration was primarily aimed at expressing discontent regarding the alleged interference from Elon Musk’s Government Efficiency Department (DOGE). Protesters voiced concerns that the DOGE team was accused of improperly accessing sensitive information held by the CFPB. Additionally, there are fears that they intend to leverage technology in a manner that could potentially undermine the agency’s vital regulatory functions. This situation raises critical questions about the integrity of data security and the ongoing autonomy of financial regulatory bodies in the evolving landscape of crypto governance.
