A PROPRIETARY chatbot—

proprietary— private, someone owns it—

Musk rolled it out quietly — WITHIN THE US GOVERNMENT— as he cuts federal workers.

And “The DOGE team hopes to eventually use it to analyze contract and procurement data.”

WIRED · DOGE Has Deployed Its GSAi Custom Chatbot for 1,500 Federal WorkersBy Makena Kelly

So many questions. For example:

1) Who approved the chatbot? (Typically, tech changes would take a while to approve to ensure their security and compliance with law.)

2) Does Trump know?

Also— another thought— no company was awarded a contract to make those changes to the government’s tech.

In the past, management in government would FIRST identify a need. THEN companies would compete for contracts and be awarded them before even beginning work. THEN their ideas would have to be run through committees for approval, considering factors like security and compliance with law.

The checks and balances of ‘bureaucracy’ exist for a reason.
