- Elon Musk’s efforts to shrink and automate the federal government include a team from the Ministry of Labor.
- The members include Marko Elez, Aram Moghaddassi and Miles Collins, whose association with DOGE has not been reported before.
- Collins has been linked to a fertility clinic company that is currently facing work for work. His brother is pronatalist Malcolm Collins.
Washington’s American Labor Department has identified new faces in their offices in recent weeks: three people associated with the office of the Ministry of Effectiveness of the White House.
New arrivals are Marko ElezAram Moghaddassi and Miles B. Collins. Elez and Moghaddassi worked for Elon Musk at Xa, Xai and Neuralink; Collins is a startup founder and investor who was connected to a fertility clinic company in Los Angeles.
Collins’ work with DOGE has not been reported before.
Three current employees of the Ministry of Labor confirmed arrivals to Business Insider. Elez, Moghaddassi and Collins did not respond to emails on their involvement with Doge.
The White House spokesperson Katie Miller did not respond to a request for comments.
Collins and his wife Brittany Collins bought the Los Angeles Pacific Fertility Center in 2019, according to transactions. He was president, while his wife was CEO until the executive president last year, according to his Linkedin profile.
His brother is Malcolm Collins, who, with his wife Simone Collins, is an eminent member of the pronatalist movement. The couple talked about their plans to have seven to 13 children and to select from the embryos for what they describe as desired features. Simone Collins was the director general of Dialog, an organization founded by Peter Thiel, according to her Linkedin profile. Cable Previously, people connected to Thiel were among the staff members involved with DOGE.
Musk also adopted pronatalist ideas.
The fertility clinic sector is currently facing prosecution in California who accuse him of underpaid employees and deprive them of lunch breaks. The company denied reprehensible acts and accused one of the former employees who has taken action having “made” its claims. The lawyers of the company said that they had concluded a regulation which should resolve the prosecution, but had had no detail.
Employee lawyers did not respond to requests for comments, and a lawyer for the clinic refused to comment.
Elez, a former Xai employee, and Moghaddassi, whose LinkedIn page now made said that he was working for X and Neuralink, previously appointed by the New York Times as part of the team that the Trump administration planned to set up in the Treasury department.
Elez resigned from DOGE last month after the Wall Street Journal reported that it had published racist publications on social networks. In one day, Musk posted on X that Elez would return to Doge.
After Trump’s electoral victory in November, Moghaddassi posted on his account x that there were “too many federal agencies. The account has since been put out, but the post was archive.
Several unions have continued the Trump administration on Doge Office access to government data, including the Ministry of Labor. Unions have said that Americans’ privacy rights may be violated and that Musk could unjustly access information that would help their businesses.
“DOGE will also have access to the archives of the Ministry of Labor concerning surveys of Mr. Musk’s companies, as well as files containing the sensitive commercial secrets of its business competitors,” said the trial.
The Trump administration said that these complaints were baseless and that Doge staff are linked by information security rules.
