idk try to make a FOIA request

DOGE moving under the presidents executive office instead of as a separate agency seemed to be done for the purpose of shielding DOGE From FOIA and only subject to President Records Act

And Trump's history with that act suggests it'll go to the highest bidder, foreign or domestic

Is it OK to make baseless accusations on Hacker News now? When did that become OK?

Only if you are attacking Trump or anything his administration is doing.

He could always try committing fewer crimes, and see how that goes for him.

After yesterday, hardly baseless.

Not really baseless when he was caught with classified documents after he was selling them to the highest bidder.

Yes americas right wing courts blocked justice from being applied in this case but this would hardly be baseless.

So your conceptual model of keeping secure documenys in a bathroom ?

A reference for those curious:

Which is hilarious because they promised DOGE was going to be all about transparency

....and that was a lie.

Also they've been hoovering up cash like it's going out of style. I think at last count DOGE had slurped up $40M and nobody knows where it's gone

Probably Elon’s margin calls since TSLA has been going to shit.

I'm not asking how to go about requesting his code, I'm asking whether the policy you cite allows him to decide what is public domain himself or if one has to work through processes and procedures to release and obtain that code.
