A whistleblower from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has revealed that their fellow employees are in a state of panic over the investigations led by Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Speaking to CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan, the anonymous employee said they and their co-workers have been “psychologically frightened” by what Musk’s DOGE will expose.

The whistleblower reportedly told Brennan that they would only speak on the condition of anonymity out of fear of putting their family “at any more risk.”
When asked to explain that “risk,” the employee said there was “absolutely” fear that DOGE workers or even Musk himself would reveal the identities of those linked to any wrongdoing.
“Well, I mean, at this point, DOGE members, including Elon Musk, have access to not just the data within the USAID world and the USAID system, which includes my personal email address, my Social Security number, my entire security file,” the employee said.
“In that security file is every contact I’ve ever known, every country I’ve traveled to, every home address I’ve had.”
They continued, “So no matter which way I look at it, my information is entirely compromised, and it’s in hands that I don’t know and don’t trust.”
Since President Donald Trump’s administration announced plans to shut down the $40 billion agency, the employee said palpable fear has been brewing among co-workers over their roles at USAID.
“The atmosphere of fear that was in the USAID building, which we’re no longer in, the atmosphere of fear, in terms of not knowing who was in the building, not knowing what their motivations were, not knowing if our emails or channels were safe, not knowing how to interpret these executive orders right around DEIA or administration priorities,” the employee said.
“All of that created an atmosphere of massive insecurity.
“And so people have, I think, lost the ability to know what’s true for what’s not.
“At this point, everyone is really scared.”
The employee also criticized Musk for railing against the agency.
