Nikhil Rajpal

Nikhil Rajpal is a 30-year-old Indian-origin engineer who has gained significant attention as a member of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). With a background in computer science and history from UC Berkeley, Rajpal previously worked at Twitter and contributed to Tesla's console redesign. His recent role at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has raised concerns due to his limited relevant expertise and the significant government access he now holds, prompting discussions about DOGE's influence in federal agencies.
