Musk stunned as dozens of DOGE staff suddenly QUIT with scathing letter... as eye-watering new savings figure is revealed
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 25, 2025 | JON MICHAEL RAASCH,

DOGE workers are revolting against Elon Musk and Donald Trump by signing a dramatic resignation letter vowing not to defund 'public services.'

'We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,' 21 former DOGE staffers wrote in a letter first reported on by AP.

These ex-DOGE workers, who are not part of Musk's personally hired nerd army, said that they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services' being slashed.

All of the now-resigned workers were a part of the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), the small government department of roughly 100 workers that Musk turned into DOGE.

Since the billionaire's takeover of the department, DOGE has fired 40 of those workers.

In the last month, DOGE has rampaged through many federal agencies demanding access to sensitive data, sit-down performance reviews with agency employees and, most recently, email receipts of what federal employees achieve in any given week.

'Several of these interviewers refused to identify themselves, asked questions about political loyalty, attempted to pit colleagues against each other, and demonstrated limited technical ability,' the staffers revealed in their letter, seemingly slamming the DOGE workers who quizzed them as hostile.

'This process created significant security risks,' they wrote.

But DOGE Spokeswoman Katie Miller posted on X that the workers who signed the letters 'were full remote workers who hung Trans flags from their workplaces.'

In other words, they're no different than the 50 intelligence officers who signed a letter claiming Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation.

So, a bunch of Communists manage to get hired.

All this means to me is they need to screen better.

The DM is trying to gin up a game of lets-you-and-him-fight.

The UK’s Deep State must be excreting bricks.

Same here. There has been no discussion of cutting essential government services. Only fraud, waste, and inefficiency.

If they did resign, it might have been because of pressure from outside the DOGE team.

As we all know, we are in a war to save the country. There is no reason to think for a second that those defending fraud, waste, and inefficiency (i.e., the Deep State and the bureaucracy) will not fight to the death.

I love how the news keeps calling these DOGE workers as if they came to work with Musk. Nope! They were assigned from other agencies to work with Musk. But their loyalties obviously remained with the Deep State agency they were previously with.

The Dems and the Left got to them.

You might think that until you actually read the article wherein you find out that... "These ex-DOGE workers ... are not part of Musk's personally hired nerd army...All of the now-resigned workers were a part of the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), the small government department of roughly 100 workers that Musk turned into DOGE."

So it's the Daily Mail attempting to turn a non-story into a story.

They were not DOGE, they were United States Digital Service hacks (the agency Trump used to form DOGE). I can’t find the references I saw before but there were a bunch of freaks in the group from the LGBTQ………

Exactly. Says as much in the excerpt. These were holdovers the media will try to imply were Musk hires

You call rats jumping off a ship a non story? Now that I realize what is really going on I are loving it!

OK. The Daily Mail is part of the Lying Left I think.

said that they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services'

It is not DOGE that is ending anything. That is up to the President. DOGE is simply revealing what is there, and what needs to be reviewed and considered for cutting.

These weren’t members of Musk’s team. They were Biden-era tech support personnel that worked at the old Digital Services agency.

As usual, this is fake news.

“They can be replaced.”

Not only can they but they will be and not with fruits, nuts and DEI hires. Honest Americans working again.
