Super explanation, Albaby. If Musk gets Lieutenants assigned to the agency beforehand, he might not have run afoul of the law?

That's correct. The Privacy Act restricts agencies from disclosing records (broadly defined) that have personal identifying information to those outside the agency, subject to various exemptions and caveats not relevant here. The folks that Musk had hired by the Treasury are part of the agency, so the Act wouldn't impose any restrictions on their access to the records. The folks over at DOGE, though, are not part of the agency, so they wouldn't be allowed access to records protected by the Act.
