Not surprised for two reasons.

1st. A lot of those that went into DOGE was following Musk in. With Musk out, a lot of them will leave with him.

2nd. The turn over in those near Trump is fairly high, at least that is my gut feeling. It seems like folks come and go a lot quicker than is typical but this could also just be that because Trump is good for media engagement, this stuff gets broadcast more.

Doge employees are temporary govt workers, thus all have a maximum amount of time they can work there before they must exit. I thank them for their service

This title is amazing. What a time to live in. I had no idea what the article is about until i opened and read it :) I was expecting middle-east negotiations commentary to be honest.
