What they said in their opus:

"..."We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services. We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.."

One can judge on that basis who and what they were. Another poster said they were Obama-era holdovers which I don't doubt for a second.

This is fake news. These were Biden holdovers.

AP claims 20+ civil service employees are quitting DOGE because they “refuse to dismantle public services.”

Elon: “More fake news from Associated Propaganda. These were Dem political holdovers who refused to return to the office. They would have been fired had they not resigned.”

The resigning staffers had been part of what was originally the United States Digital Service, an office created during President Barack Obama’s administration in response to the failed launch of Healthcare.gov, the online portal for Americans enrolling in health insurance under his landmark health care law.

Many had previously held senior positions at major tech firms like Google and Amazon and had joined the government out of a commitment to public service.

That changed with Trump’s decision to empower Musk. The day after Trump’s inauguration, the staffers wrote, they were summoned to a series of interviews that previewed the opaque and disruptive operations of Musk’s DOGE.

The remaining 65 staffers were absorbed into DOGE’s government-cutting initiative, with nearly a third resigning together on Tuesday.

“...These ex-DOGE workers, who are not part of Musk’s personally hired nerd army...”
