Watch: Republican lawmaker flags what he would 'do differently' than Elon Musk

Republican lawmaker Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), who is the co-chair of the bipartisan Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) congressional caucus, is speaking out against Elon Musk's claims of "transparency" and his methods of informing government workers about major changes to their agencies.

In the Oval Office next to President Donald Trump Tuesday, Musk claimed, "All of our actions are fully public... transparency is what builds trust." By "fully public," Musk meant information posted on the DOGE account of his social media platform, X.

CNN anchor John Berman asked Sessions on Wednesday, "You told CNN that you were going to be meeting with federal workers, and your message to them would be, quote, 'I might have done it differently when it comes to what Elon Musk and his teams have been doing.' What would you do differently?"

"Well, I tend to want to be able to give people information ahead of time instead of them seeing it on social media," Sessions said. "I tend to want to be able to say to people — which I think that the DOGE team and the president did do — here are the specific areas in which we will have conflict. But, I'm not sure that we laid out in specificity where those might be and where they may be headed."

Sessions said that when he returned to Texas, he explained to the government workers, "that there are a series of changes that have been made, and they were publicly highlighted...and those changes have now been dealt with or are being being dealt with, some in the courts and some straight up. And that I told them that I believe that the essential services that they provide are important to the American people, and that I believe that these workers that are back in Texas will find themselves working for an organization that would find itself at work, would be still face-to-face with the American people, and that I believe that they will be value added to working with the American people and important to this government."

ABC News "has tracked Musk and his DOGE team gaining access to at least 15 federal agencies," so far. The team sent an email to 2.3 million government workers, urging them to take a government buyout. A federal judge extended a pause on the deadline for federal workers to accept a "deferred resignation offer" and ordered the government to stop soliciting more buyouts. The judge is currently deciding "whether he should indefinitely pause the offer’s deadline pending further court proceedings over the buyout program’s legality."
