The part about Musk’s acolytes refusing to identify themselves to people they were interviewing within government offices is just beyond surreal.

So they started out with ~100 existing staffers, 60 have now resigned.

I’m still stuck in a toss up between that (e.g., refusing to ID themselves) and the grilling over personal politics. Can’t decide which enrages me more. You would know better than me, but the latter sure sounds like it’s 1,000% unconstitutional & grounds for a lawsuit on its own.

the same people revealed as anonymous online Nazis? I'm simply shocked

How do you resign from something that isn’t even legal or real. Courts need to step up.

Honestly cannot understand these resignations since clearly Elon Mu$K creates a warm and supportive work environment…#fivebulletpoints

Even the analysis of the EO names conflicts of interest?

The eventual Armando Iannucci movie about this debacle is going to be spectacular

I am not suggesting they were wrong to resign, so please no one yell at me, but in a way this gets Musk and his minions what they want - more vacancies to fill as they choose and more opportunity to do whatever they want. Its not like Congress is going to do anything.

Apparently they were real stand-offish - refused to acknowledge anybody outside their group, took over offices without permission, set up white noise machines to cut themselves off from the outside world. Creepy as hell.

How is their refusal to identify themselves not create a massive security risk (beyond all the other security risks this is creating)

It's top-tier Gen Z Internet Brain to consider telling your real-life colleagues your name to be a form of doxxing.

you don’t have to identify yourself on 4chan so why should you need to when you work for the federal government

I guess this is a really depressing question but who could even stop them at this point

reminiscent of the armed thugs without any identifying credentials sent to protect Washington landmarks back in 2020.

That's it, I'm putting down my phone. There will be nothing better than this comment for me today.

So who is monitoring that data is not leaving with these individuals? Who has Custody of this data?

I keep running this situation thru my head, wondering what I’d do.

Why didn't anyone call security?!

The more horrors I hear about DOGE actions, the more frustrated I get about the Federal agencies' response.

At least they're suing, though.

The DOGE lads think they are super sekrit spooks
