Elon Muskβs next target appears to be none other than the CIAβ¦
The tech billionaire and leader of DOGE visited CIA headquarters on Monday in a historic visit since beginning his mission to rid the government of waste and fraud.
Elon was invited by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and the two held a meeting to essentially discuss how the CIA can be DOGEβd.

Over the past few weeks, the CIA underneath Ratcliffe has already gotten to work forming its own internal DOGE team to cut the bloat.
Unlike other agencies, the classified nature of the CIA means that Elon Musk and DOGE will not be given unlimited access to the systems. This was one of the topics of discussion during Musk and Ratcliffeβs meeting.
Technology and ways to ensure taxpayer dollars are βspent wiselyβ were also discussed.
Hereβs everything we know:

ELON VISITS TO CIA HEADQUARTERS
Elon wrapped his unprecedented meeting with CIA Director Ratcliffe at Langley β the first such visit since Trumpβs efficiency campaign began.
The agency made clear this wasnβt business as usual: βDirector Ratcliffe emphasized during the meeting the importance of respecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring that they are spent wiselyβ
Unlike other departments where DOGE gained unlimited system access, CIAβs classified nature means Elon wonβt get unfettered access to their databases β a special challenge for efficiency reforms.
Sources confirm the CIA already formed its own internal DOGE team of career officials weeks ago to prepare for inevitable belt-tightening.
After their meeting, John Ratcliffe posted this on X:
Had a great visit and meeting with @ElonMusk to discuss his ideas and progress so far in making our government more efficient! I look forward to working with Elon and his team to ensure that CIA remains the premier intelligence Agency in the world. pic.twitter.com/VbgUAtcCd0

The Daily Beast reported:
Elon Musk was deployed to CIA headquarters on Monday as part of the Department of Government Efficiencyβs mission to cut, cut, cut.
The intelligence-gathering agency is the latest target of massive proposed cuts being enacted across the government.
CIA director John Ratcliffe, who invited Musk in, told President Donald Trumpβs advisor that the Agency is βuniqueβ and shouldnβt be compared to other government agencies.
Ratcliffe has been working to shrink the agencyβs size and is reported to be considering a wider reorganization. The Agency already has an internal DOGE team formed after President Donald Trumpβs executive order that has been working βfor weeks.β
Musk, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO, met Ratcliffe, deputy director Michael Ellis, and a group of senior staffers to discuss how DOGE cuts to other departments could be applied to the Agency without compromising national security.
Technology and the need to use taxpayers dollars βwisely and appropriatelyβ was also reportedly discussed during the meeting.
In his pursuit of cuts, Musk has had unlimited access to most government agency databases, but he will not have unlimited access to the CIAβs databases because much of the information is top secret.
Mondayβs meeting marks Muskβs first visit to the CIA since the establishment of DOGE. He has already been snooping inside the National Security Agency.
Axios provided some specific details on what was discussed:
Behind the scenes: Lyons said Musk, senior adviser to President Trump, was hosted by CIA director John Ratcliffe and deputy director Michael Ellis. A group of top CIA career officials also attended the meeting.
- During the meeting SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk briefed Ratcliffe and other CIA officials about key insights from DOGE work so far at other departments and agencies and βthe ways in which those lessons could be thoughtfully applied at CIA,β Lyons said.
- A source familiar with the meeting said the CIA has an internal DOGE team that was formed after Trumpβs executive order. The team that includes CIA career officials has been working for several weeks.
- CIA officials didnβt give Musk an intelligence briefing, but discussed with him βhow the CIA is uniqueβ in comparison to other government agencies, the source said.
- The source said Ratcliffe and his team discussed with Musk how the CIA can adapt steps that were taken in other government agencies and be more efficient without compromising national security.
- The source said another issue that was discussed in the meeting was technology.
The CIA is long overdue for some auditing, and this is going to be a momentous undertaking on the part of Elon Musk.
Letβs be real: itβs also going to be a very dangerous one.
Elon Musk just, quite literally, stepped into the wolfβs den.
Even though heβs got a great security team backing him up, the risk that Elon is taking by auditing the CIA β an agency full of deep secrets and powerful people who will do anything to protect them β should not be understated.
Elon and DOGE are up against a lot.
We must protect Elon at all costs. pic.twitter.com/sxeIRqcZ2K

Many other men, like President John F. Kennedy, were killed for trying to do what Elon Musk is promising.
If Elon prevails, then this will be a huge turning point in our country. And, his name will go down in history as among our nationβs greatest heroes.
But in order to prevail, Elon Musk is going to need the type of security and strength that comes from more than than just mere mortals on Earth.
Heβs going to need the strength and protection of God.
Thatβs why it is so important remember to keep Elon Musk and President Trumpβs safety in your prayers.
Please share this article and remind your friends and family to pray for Elon, President Trump, and our nation!
