Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) members "parachute" to reorganize the U.S. Department of the Interior.

On May 27, Fortune reported that Tyler Hassen, a Texas oil executive with no experience in public administration, from Musk's Department of Efficiency (DOGE), is wielding superpowers to reorganize the U.S. Department of the Interior. Records show that he has neither divested his investments in the energy sector nor signed a document of ethical commitment to avoid conflicts of interest. The U.S. Secretary of the Interior recently assigned Tyler Hassen to lead the reorganization of the Department, the super-agency that oversees 70 percent of the nation's public lands, with 11 agencies, including the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Fish and Wildlife Service, employing more than 70,000 people. Tyler Hassen was appointed "Assistant Secretary for Policy Management and Budget" in March and "Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary" in April, a position that required Senate approval and signing of an ethics pledge, which was circumvented by the latter. An expert on government ethics at Washington University in St. Louis noted: "This is a fraud that uses a title game to evade critical ethical scrutiny."
