'Dude, seriously?' MSNBC's Michael Steele rips into latest Elon Musk DOGE dodge

Addressing comments made by billionaire Elon Musk about his staffers at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), MSNBC host Michael Steele bluntly stated, "He's full of crap."

On Saturday morning, the MSNBC "The Weekend," co-host ran a clip of Donald Trump's chief adviser protesting attacks on his DOGE hires by claiming the sensitive and private data his people have been accessing is available to "thousands" of federal workers.

During his appearance on Friday with podcaster Joe Rogan, Musk said, "Tens of thousands of federal employees that have access already to the system. Anyone from DOGE has to go through the same vetting process that those federal employees went through, so there's not like some unvetted random situation."

"Okay, I'll say it, he's full of crap because there is –– everything he just said is a lie because it is random, it is not vetted," Steele told his MSNBC panel. "You're not vetting the 19-year-old who's sitting atop of the system right now making these decisions and all those, you know, tens of thousands of federal employees that have access already to the system? Dude, seriously?"

"But even if they did, if that number were a real number, they were vetted," he elaborated. "They filled out all the federal paperwork, the FBI checked their background. You just don't randomly give access to the system to just somebody to somebody because they have a federal I.D. That's the problem."
