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

We are going to be finding the damage these guys did for the next fifteen years...

These were kids brought in to play with toys. How else could you explain the total lack of accountability?

snapcaster•7mo ago
Why do you feel thankful for them? My read of the situation is that they didn't really do anything significant in terms of government spending, what am I missing?

> Coristine received full-time employment status at the GSA late last month, as reported by WIRED. As of Tuesday afternoon, his Google Workspace account with the General Services Administration (GSA) was no longer active, according to a source with direct knowledge.

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.
