Social Security Chief Says Musk’s DOGE Figures Heavily in Agency’s Plans

The new head of the Social Security Administration said Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is central to his plans for the agency, even though the tech billionaire is no longer in President Trump’s orbit.

In a recent interview, agency head Frank Bisignano said he plans to deploy DOGE staffers to help Social Security personnel revamp customer service to rely more heavily on technology and artificial intelligence. “I look at them as a resource to help me,” said Bisignano, who has described himself as “fundamentally a DOGE person.”
