As part of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a former Tesla employee has been installed as a senior adviser to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, records shared with The Intercept show.
Tarak Makecha, who previously worked at Elon Musk’s electric car company, now has roles at both the FBI and the Justice Department’s Justice Management Division, according to staff lists.
At the FBI, the records show Makecha is a “senior advisor” to the agency’s executive assistant director for human resources. At the Justice Management Division, he is listed as an “advisor” to the office of the chief information officer, which oversees IT and cybersecurity for the department.
There’s no story I read about this administration that surprises me anymore. It’s beyond onion levels.
