Trump taps a16z policy chief Brian Quintenz as CFTC head - the FIT21 crypto market structure bill supported by a16z & much of the industry would give the CFTC regulatory authority over "decentralized" crypto assets.

After publishing our story last week naming as many Musk-affiliated staffers as we could confirm, we received hundreds of tips. We can now confirm over 30 names.
New: Musk and his lieutenants are reshaping the government and its mission with the blessing of President Trump. ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 staffers affiliated with the billionaire.

Today, Elon Musk said "I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Yet, DOGE will not confirm the names of people who work for it. So we did.
Update: we confirmed the names of ~30 people with links to Musk now working in government—both dedicated DOGE staffers, as well as others with ties to his businesses. This includes about a dozen "DOGE" staffers in the Executive Office of the President.

One Musk-adjacent posting we flagged that's gotten little attention: the incoming CIO of the Social Security Administration is a longtime executive at Shift4, a payment processor run by Musk's friend Jared Isaacman.
