More than 20 staffers at Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have resigned, after refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”
“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the workers wrote in a joint resignation letter on Tuesday, obtained by The Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”
The staffers who resigned worked for what was once known as the United States Digital Service, an office established during Barack Obama’s administration. All had previously held senior roles at such tech companies as Google and Amazon, but had joined the government out of a sense of duty to public service, they said.
Those are workers from US Digital Services which was hijacked and renamed as Congress never created DOGE.
I don’t think musk cares as he has his team of broccoli hair “big balls”.
I would prefer if the workers stay and resisted, although not sure if they had any impact at this point.
I don’t judge them, I’m glad they’re doing what they can. There were probably ways they could sabotage big ball’s efforts without being there.
Yeah, you’re right, it is easy to say that they should stay, but at the same time I feel so powerless with what’s happening.
I’m okay with their resigning in protest… Provided they don’t leave notes or train their replacements.
Having the tech people fuck off and leave is going to hurt. Don’t care how smart Elon’s boy are, nobody just steps in and starts running shit like this.
