Let me say @wired.com is killing on coverage.

NEW: The Department of Government Efficiency has built a “firewall” separating Elon Musk’s team from the 200 or so legacy United States Digital Service workers, sources tell WIRED.

Yes they are!

randomsurvivor.bsky.social•75 days ago

I'm still waiting for that mutiny to take place. It's going to happen soon.....

justplainbeaute.bsky.social•75 days ago

Will resubscribe

desertmage65.bsky.social•75 days ago

I would pay good money to watch Elon get dismembered by a pack of rabid lemurs.

glacialmojo.bsky.social•75 days ago

Good to hear from USDS the legit systems change agent.

glacialmojo.bsky.social•75 days ago

And sad/bad if they get run off. Gotta say huge respect for what they have accomplished and for the model they created to fuse change into big gov culture and process.

vought.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yeah, this is the stuff real technology reporters could make their career in. Reporting on what evil people are doing.

paulhosking.bsky.social•75 days ago

Trump hijacked the USDS to give Elon's DOGE team a figleaf of legitimacy. Trump's Administration gave them access that far outpaced their authority. The DOGE team has been faking 'till they make it.

The last thing they want is USDS folks to see what they're up to and call them on their bullshit.

lkstudiopdx.bsky.social•75 days ago

Great. But how many folks read WIRED?

janellie1.bsky.social•75 days ago

In plain sight!

dougdalena.bsky.social•75 days ago

Just subscribed!

redheadedmom.bsky.social•75 days ago

Calling on the black hats. Prove the punk and frat boys, inferior.

mrsadventure.bsky.social•74 days ago

It all feels vaguely sophomoric like how the movie Wargames started out….

brendankinney.bsky.social•74 days ago

Agreed! I canceled my subscription a million years ago but the latest reporting brought me back.

sirgeekalot.bsky.social•75 days ago

Agreed. I cannot thank them enough for exposing so much of what is going on.

techn0mad.bsky.social•74 days ago

Kudos to @wired.com for leading the charge!

murphy-t.bsky.social•75 days ago

We are witnessing a power grab and the destruction of our government while millions are encouraging it and celebrating the destruction with no clear plan as to how it benefits them. Insanity.

saltpeter123.bsky.social•74 days ago

They are the one media outlet that understands Tech Bro Toddlers the best. They realize the tech industry is filled with loads of insecure manboys, lacking in basic social skills, who want to be sociopathic tyrants willing to destroy the entire country for the sake of stroking their own egos.

saltpeter123.bsky.social•74 days ago

Now the rest of America needs to realize that the Tech Bros of today are like the train bros of the 19th century. Those who got wealthy off the wealth & property/intellectual property from the govt who, once they get wealthy, don’t want to pay taxes or have basic regulations placed on their industry

saltpeter123.bsky.social•74 days ago

And like the train bros of the Gilded Age, the tech bros of now are in a constant d*ck measure competition with one another so much so that they are willing to drive the entire economy off the cliff to get s competitive edge over other tech bros. If only their daddies had hugged enough as children

saltpeter123.bsky.social•74 days ago

Btw, in a documentary that included the history of these train bro tycoons, called “The Men Who Made America”, Trump himself said of Depressions they were good for him because he can buy stocks cheap & sell them high when they later go up. If only Trump’s daddy had hugged his sociopathic behind more

dconde.bsky.social•75 days ago

I think that sources may be willing to talk as it was during the first term. I hope that they all know the obvious ways to do that without revealing themselves, in case they are being watched (it's not like meeting in some garage during Watergate).

vivelaresistance.bsky.social•74 days ago

I just subscribed! We need to support this.

adriana1o5.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yep. And at some point, greed is going to get the better of the MSM Trump bootlickers who will then try to jump in. Late.

Remember who did & who didn’t stand up.

and2mdmtia.bsky.social•74 days ago

The thing is DO General Electric are not fighting against The United States they are against the British Empire and Do Bye. China is Taking Everything with Brics.

starbucksjunkee.bsky.social•75 days ago

Agreed Kara.

Legacy media you might want to take your cue from @wired.com

carolinepegram.bsky.social•74 days ago

And then some

charlottenc.bsky.social•75 days ago

I hope musk and dump end up in prison when this nightmare is over.

matthewhallthegay.bsky.social•75 days ago

They they live through this, we have failed as a nation.

kcole0.bsky.social•75 days ago

Dear President Musk, Fork You!

eawinick.bsky.social•75 days ago

Uniquely suited to meet this moment.

mogtx.bsky.social•75 days ago

#facts

patiswhereitsat.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yes. Impressive. Not what I expected.

stickgalsal.bsky.social•74 days ago

I’m so very grateful for @wired.com work. Please keep up the great work.

michellegreer.bsky.social•75 days ago

I know Trump always sets a lot of fires, but this one seems hard to reverse. There are so many bad downstream implications of this team and folks in tech are largely silent.

You can get fired at startups for a lot of this stuff

davidgilbertvoiceover.com•75 days ago

arashctab.bsky.social•75 days ago

Agreed! Their health coverage has been great the past few years too!

coopersfriend.bsky.social•75 days ago

What’s to keep them from planting a virus in the system?

thisgrayarea.bsky.social•75 days ago

Stellar, integrity bound journalism. Exactly what we need now from the vital, yet unofficial branch of government that is journalism.

btaboh.bsky.social•75 days ago

They are doing INCREDIBLE investigating reporting. THANK YOU WIRED!

nelliebly666.bsky.social•75 days ago

I just re-subscribed.

(But I want the gorgeous, large format paper back.)

knowlengr.bsky.social•75 days ago

Tempted

teezen301.bsky.social•75 days ago

Agree! Wired articles are 🔥, as the kids would say :)

trojanscquire.bsky.social•75 days ago

Honestly, they’ve always been great but I never expected them to be our shining beacon in politics. Thank you, Wired!

thamilton007.bsky.social•74 days ago

Agreed.

cbourne.bsky.social•75 days ago

They are getting a new subscriber who left WAPO.

luxrayaeterna.bsky.social•74 days ago

Just told my husband the other day that Wired is on fire lately. Glad to be a subscriber.

rimroot.bsky.social•74 days ago

They are defying the courts, of course, but we know that. What is the remedy? A national uprising? Must we take to the streets? Will the felon call out the national guard to kill us, not for the first time?!

gtetonbeautiful.bsky.social•75 days ago

Hey @karaswisher.bsky.social, this development is a bad sign.

thelolo.bsky.social•75 days ago

wonder how they are getting the scoops

cx86.bsky.social•75 days ago

This is freaking scary. No other words to describe it.

cshields11.bsky.social•75 days ago

Just subscribed. Have barely ever read them before, but gotta support investigative journalists doing the real work

jebarwocky.bsky.social•75 days ago

Are you running a workshop for your CNN colleagues so folks like Wolf and Jake can understand the difference between a coup and fictitious terms such as broligarchy and cover this crisis with the seriousness it deserves?

rossintx.bsky.social•74 days ago

I’ve given up on CNN. MSNBC has far better coverage and I don’t feel like I’m compromising my principles when I watch.

madeleine-100.bsky.social•75 days ago

Just subscribed based on all this. They are indeed killing it.

pkarlssonmt.bsky.social•75 days ago

Same here, just subscribed last week

sitelifer.bsky.social•75 days ago

Today’s Pivot is a must hear also.

andriagaskin.bsky.social•74 days ago

Agreed!

deemv.bsky.social•75 days ago

fully agree! and also… https://projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-doge-tracker/

wholetree.bsky.social•75 days ago

They were allowed to do it and they will keep being allowed to destroy our nation. There is no enforcement mechanism to stop them. All the enforcement agencies are captured by Fat Donny.

sunnycoast63.bsky.social•75 days ago

Throw the little turds in prison
