Summary

A federal employee revealed that Elon Musk’s DOGE conducted 15-minute interviews where staff had to “justify their existence” to “college freshers.”

After Musk’s visit, he called for a 50% agency cut, with the bottom 30% of performers facing layoffs.

Supervisors must now submit justification forms for employees.

The speaker also claimed Musk, his “wife,” and child are living inside the agency.

    “fresher’s” is a term in Indian English, not in the US.

    They’re “Freshmen”.

    While I’m sure DOGE is young assholes, this article strikes me as dubious.

      Freshers are the British English word as well, possibly the rest of the English speaking world.

      True. I heard of “freshie” but not sure how common it is anymore.

      Latin times isn’t a great source but there’s corroborating stories and video out there.

      I seem to recall seeing dubious reporting on that site, too.

      yep a lot of indians saw the fake indian burner accounts trend and decided its time we make scam conservative accounts , that indian in your dms or comments is probably someone you know pretending to be an indian to harass you, learning that shit was so dissapointing , and it wasnt a small trend either
