A DOGE employee, Marko Elez, accidentally committed a private xAI API key to a public GitHub repository on July 13, exposing access to at least 52 xAI/Grok LLMs; the key reportedly remained active after notification and had not been revoked. The article raises operational-security concerns given Elez's access to multiple U.S. federal agency databases and notes similar prior leaks by DOGE staff.
