Elon Musk visited the CIA headquarters on Monday for talks on government efficiency.

Axar.az reports, citing Axios, the spy agency director of public affairs Liz Lyons told Axios.

This is the first time Musk has visited the CIA since the establishment of DOGE, the federal cost-cutting department that is he is the face of.

Lyons said Musk, senior adviser to President Trump, was hosted by CIA director John Ratcliffe and deputy director Michael Ellis. A group of top CIA career officials also attended the meeting.

During the meeting SpaceX and Tesla CEO Musk briefed Ratcliffe and other CIA officials about key insights from DOGE work so far at other departments and agencies and "the ways in which those lessons could be thoughtfully applied at CIA," Lyons said.

CIA officials didn't give Musk an intelligence briefing, but discussed with him "how the CIA is unique" in comparison to other government agencies, the source told Axios.

According to the source, Ratcliffe and his team discussed with Musk how the CIA can adapt steps that were taken in other government agencies and be more efficient without compromising national security. Another issue that was discussed in the meeting was technology.

"Director Ratcliffe emphasized during the meeting the importance of respecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring that they are spent wisely and appropriately — on CIA's mission of defending the United States of America," Lyons said.
