Well, yeah.

Ethics watchdog issues conflict of interest warning to Musk's Doge agency www.theguardian.com

... A leading ethics watchdog has issued warnings to Donald Trump's billionaire ally Elon Musk and the "department of government efficiency" (Doge), an agency Trump has stated he will create, claiming its use of encrypted messaging apps potentially violates the Federal Records Act (FRA).

American Oversight, which uses litigation to obtain public records and expose government misconduct, argues that Musk's leadership of Doge raises "significant ethical concerns about potential conflicts of interest", given his business empire and the substantial impact that Doge could have on federal agencies.

The warnings stem from reports that members of Doge, which aims to carry out dramatic cuts to the US government, are using the encrypted messaging app Signal with an auto-delete feature, which could hinder the preservation of official records. ...

@#3 ... which could hinder the preservation of official records. ...

So, no trail?

After the Clinton email server fiasco, I would presume that the Trump administration would be more careful about the official preservation of the communications of the Trump administration.

Elon Musk owns America.

The fact anyone think he cares about their opinions is laughable.

He's going to drain this nation, one tax dollar at a time.

Here, let me clue y'all in to how polling is going to look for the next year at least (until Trump manages to use the government to force it to be more positive...).

Everything associated with Trump and his administration will be somewhere around 30-37% favorably rated.

Sometimes slightly higher, but rarely.

Because the only idiots who are going to see what happens the next few years favorably are the window licking base who will convince themselves whatever he does is good no matter how many people it hurts.
