CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons told the portal that DOGE head Elon Musk had visited the CIA headquarters on Monday to talk about improving the government's efficiency. It is noted that this was his first visit to the CIA in his current position. Unlike other departments, DOGE will not be given access to the CIA's databases or internal systems because most of them are top secret, the publication said. According to Lyons, during the visit, Musk told the agency's leadership about the key findings of DOGE's activities and suggested options for their application in the intelligence agency. As the source told the portal, CIA employees in response discussed with him "how the CIA is unique" compared to others. According to the portal's source, the CIA has its own efficiency improvement unit, which was formed after the order of US President Donald Trump; this team has been operating for several weeks. Created by Trump's decision, DOGE is designed to cut wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies. US House Speaker Mike Johnson previously said that DOGE had identified "shocking" US government spending that had not been approved by the US Congress.

DOGE to Be Denied Access to CIA Data Due to High Secrecy Level, Report Says
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will not be given access to the databases and internal systems of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) due to the high level of secrecy, the Axios portal reported, citing an unnamed source.
CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons told the portal that DOGE head Elon Musk had visited the CIA headquarters on Monday to talk about improving the government's efficiency. It is noted that this was his first visit to the CIA in his current position.
