The article frames this like a bad thing but it seems perfectly reasonable. The DOGE is, effectively, a group of auditors. Of course they're going to need to have access to information on the organizations they are auditing.

And Criminal conspiracy is just making plans with friends. The details matter and the details are that DOGE is structured for maximum access/capability and minimum oversight from congress, other agencies, and the public.
Not realizing the implications of an oligarch who bought his way into the federal government with apparent conflicts of interest is equally reaching and dogmatic. This article asks the right questions. We should be concerned about this and keep a watchful eye on it.
