Summary
Musk’s DOGE team is conducting opaque “one-way interviews” with civil servants, raising concerns over transparency and accountability significantly.
Federal workers report being interrogated about their roles and colleagues’ performance, while Musk’s aides refuse to reveal their full names.
Under the DOGE banner, Musk’s team now controls vital agencies including USAID and the Office of Personnel Management.
Civil servants are resorting to encrypted messaging to track Musk’s rapid and opaque government takeover.
Imagine, as a senior federal employee, seeing a 25 yo nerd barging into your office uninvited and asking you questions without revealing as much as their name. US feds really must be paragons of politeness and patience for not telling them to fuck off right away
“Since you refuse to identify yourself, I’m calling security.” Standard protocol when handling any sensitive information.
What’s been bothering me is security looks to be complacent or is aiding it. You see where people have resisted and are “escorted by security”. Who is security in this case listening to?
