This supposedly complimentary story about one of Musk's greasy goons embodies one of the core problems of DOGE: they were so incompetent they didn't do basic version control or backups, and so lost all their work. Such people are unfit to be anywhere near critical government infrastructure.

Akash Bobba, Luke Farritor, Ethan Shaotran, Gavin Kliger, Gauthier Cole Killian, and Edward Coristine. Spread their names, spread their shame. These are the unelected Musk lackies with no Congressional oversight that broke into OUR data.

This is also another reminder why you really need to vet and be really careful reading your email. This email came from one of the DOGE bros, NOT anyone’s actual boss in USAID. If such an email comes from anyone other than your boss, ignore it. Go to work.
