Elon Musk led the dismantling of the federal government with absurd threats and actions; wreaked havoc at USAID; disrupted HIV programs; stayed up late to send harassing emails. But what @inaeoh.bsky.social will remember most is his utter disdain for the workers he traumatized.

The clearest conclusion I’ve come to doing a DOGE podcast for 4 months is that they’re not just incompetent at cutting waste and fraud, but that was never the real goal. And it’s vital to get folks who share that goal to recognize that.
