Aram Moghaddassi
A former employee at both X and Neuralink, Aram Moghaddassi arrived as a hire at the Department of Labor in February and has been detailed to other agencies like Social Security or DHS to work at important projects for Musk, whether it’s trying to detect fraud at SSA or building a surveillance state for immigration. His hiring arrangements at DOL have not yet been made public, but SSA was reimbursing DOL for his time at $71,000 per quarter, so I’m assuming he is a paid employee there.
Likely aliases: SSA-03
