Stories like this matter because Elon still has lots of soldiers who genuinely believe that he lives up to his "first principles" patter, and puts merit and efficacy first.

Experienced tech folks need to make it clear that he and his goons are partisan hacks with "limited technical understanding."

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

Unconstitutional! Sue and refuse doges requests and demands.

Elon's core ability is turning hype narratives into two things: capital and technical talent. His reputation is built on the accomplishments of the brilliant people he has seduced with his young male engineer-primed ideology. We have to attack his credibility with capital and engineering talent.

i think the fake gamer stuff will do as much as anything to burn his credibility with the up and coming youths

Elon Musk is a mascot who somehow got famous enough to buy the whole team. It's like if the San Diego Chicken lucked into buying the Padres.

the fact that Chris Lattner noped out of Tesla in six months - after having worked for Steve Jobs! - shows you how people who actually know their worth, have experience in the world, and have felt the loving touch of another human being can avoid his personal gravity well.

But what if you're a "tech folk" who's either a partisan hack or has limited technical understanding?

Don't want to seem like a hypocrite.

Were they even getting paid?….or were they just in it for the drugs..

Didn’t start out as partisan hacks tbf. That said the trendline, starting with the resignations from Tesla in the last few years has been one of disillusionment

jimlsilver.bsky.social•1 day ago

What? DOGE was partisan hackery from its inception!

mattboxer94.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m more generally seeing a pattern over those who’ve been disillusioned over the last few years

This is a Russian intelligence operation. Russia is crippling the US government and its alliances.

Musks ‘ hires are not engineers, they’re at best jr tech interns with very little formal training, experience, and knowledge.

That's true of all his companies. The experienced and competent are swiftly driven out by nonsensical or unethical demands from above leaving only the sycophants or those who don't know any better.

Yeah. I would want to spend like 3 months to understand these systems before I even touched them.

souper-deluxe.bsky.social•1 day ago

And you'd consult people who knew them intricately. Elon is at the peak of Dunning Krueger

You need auditing and process improvement experience to find and correct inefficiencies. Musk's little hacker boy do NOT have that experience.

21 DOGE employees resigned and together wrote a brave letter with specific reasoning from those on the inside why DOGE dangerous.

erinandersonga.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sooooo...do we now know who runs DOGE?

erinandersonga.bsky.social•1 day ago

Also...did AP get the scoop first? I kinda like the idea of everyone leaking through AP....

mkennedymartin.bsky.social•23 hours ago

How does AP get all of this great news when they are not in the White House briefings? Seems impossible

I loved that offhand comment. And the real USDS people were hands-on technologists of the type Musk pretends to be. They can spot people with limited technical skills.

The technology behind many of these applications is from an era long before these asshats were born. They have no experience in these platforms or languages. So all they can do is threaten and break stuff, they don't have the secret decoder ring to actually understand the process.

In other words, it's like letting a bunch of 2 and 3-year-olds into a room with the nuclear football and letting them play with it.

calligirl.bsky.social•23 hours ago

exactly. Push enough buttons, something is sure to happen

To the actually-skilled engineers and scientists in the tech field, Elon is known as an idiot, through and through. It is known that he underpays workers compared to industry averages. He will expect obscene hours regardless of burnout. He is known as the ultimate nightmare idiot boss.

soulscreme.bsky.social•1 day ago

To put it more precisely, they're idiots. They don't know shit. They should be allowed near any of our data.
