Sadly, with all the competent civil service employees resigning, it's leaving us with no guard rails against the damage and chaos Trump and Muskrat are intent on doing. These resigning civil service employees may get replaced with Muskrat's, Trump's or Putin's stooges who'll carry out their orders.
And now those people are going to reach out as whistleblowers. Watch. This is all going to dismantle and self sabotage on itself. It'll be yet another crime to add to the long lists of crimes that this unfortunate undeserving president has as his corrupt legacy.
Awesome, hope they grab a phone sheet and download Signal on the way out the door. Guessing there are some reporters on actual waste fraud and abuse who would be interested.
Unfortunately, they were existing.

That's what I suspected. There is a balance to be struck between sticking around to fight the good fight and leaving because you cannot be a part of what is being done. These folks leaving may mean there is less impedance for Elon, but it may also mean there is even less competence in the work.
The US Digital Service, an existing department, was "rebranded", basically, to create DOGE. So the employees already working for the USDS were now part of DOGE.
And since the USDS is real there is a real spot for the head administrator. This position is currently vacant, but Elon says he leads DOGE even though he's technically just a "special gov employee". This is where the confusion in court has arisen about who is really leading DOGE.
Thanks for the clarification; now I wonder how large a part of USDS/DOGE's workforce these workers were. Given how incompetent Musk's own people are turning out to be, it seems that a mass resignation like this could strip DOGE of whatever expertise it had.
the Musk Administration publicly stated that Musk oversees DOGE as a special government employee - shareholders at each of his companies should sue to remove Musk as CEO and Board member, stop his $ & clawback his shares or at least put them in trust - all that’s needed is to own one share of stock
It’s pretty simple - to be paid full time from 4 or 5 companies but actually work full time as President is not much different than theft - so hopefully Blue states start issuing arrest warrants on behalf of shareholders in their states - mobsters got arrested for no show jobs why not Musk?

That’s common knowledge here on Blue Sky, but out in the real world, most Americans haven’t even figured this out. Yet.
Common sense and backbone are what is most needed now.
This is what we all must do.

Inaccurate headlines
Seems fishy.
