Employees who were absorbed into doge not the muskrats

But it’s heroic, it’s no small thing to walk off the job.

Who is paying people under this fake Department? I didn't see Congress allocate any funds

But Big Balls is still on the case.

They were holdover, though, right? Not picked by Elon

kscollan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly. Musk is probably celebrating this.

I started to read the article, I got about 3 graphs in before it wouldn't let me read farther...

They're holdovers from the USDS who didn't already get laid off. And yeah, they're professionals who don't like being used as toys... just like 90% of Federal Workers

Probably had more to do with contemplation of being vilified and later prosecuted for when the crimes against our country come out.....

These are not elon followers, these are programmers that got pulled into the department.

I understand that. I am saying that the position liability outweighed the willingness to stay. I feel terrible they were put in that position and asked to subject themselves to being depicted that way.

Yes! I’m sorry they had to quit but so proud they are standing up! I think we all should walk out. Shut the government down. It’s time the people take our country back.

I don’t think they were exactly doge employees. They were civil servants brought on to assist doge.
