Is there any generous interpretation of this that makes it okay?

Under that act, DOGE records would remain sealed until 2034, five years after Trump leaves office and eight years after DOGE is set to disband. This is in response to Miller's post that says: Per the Executive Order @DOGE was reorganized under the Executive Office of the President and subject to Presidential Records. It looks like the 10-year wait for releasing email messages is standard operating procedure, and no one at the department is doing anything to change it either way, nor even commenting on that part of the act. The article does say: If DOGE gets its way, it will be nearly a decade before any of Musk's or his staffers' emails will be publicly available. This appears to be referencing a debate as to whether or not the department is an advisory committee, which the department asserts it is. If it were to be determined to be more than an advisory committee, that would have an affect on the procedure for publishing internal email messages, but this does not appear to be a major consideration in the debate over whether or not it is an advisory committee.
