Cleverness rules out 90% of the target audience. A modern phrase like "Elon simps" would mean more to more people.

Whose basement do they live in? This is horrifying!

We have no idea who Musk DOGE teams are!
Unknown Musk contractors

Security clearances?
Oaths to our country?
Pass drug tests?

He has some of his unknowns living and sleeping at OPM Directors' offices since January 20th

Are they part of his ketamine posse?

All or most educated at some of the most elite universities. Are the schools interested in commenting on this?

That's a great idea for some pushback- contact the alumni or provost's offices.

Trump is immune from criminal charges, civil are impotent & GOP owns congress. But Musk, cronies raiding the US computers & locking out everyone, controlling Treasury data is extortion (RANSOMWARE). Saying it can do it is FRAUD. Musk, cronies, Congress are not immune. Who's going to charge them?

"Killian, also known as Cole Killian, has a working email associated with DOGE, where he is currently listed as a volunteer, according to internal records reviewed by WIRED."

It's illegal to be a volunteer for the federal government when others are doing the same work as staff.
