Who’s who inside Elon Musk’s army of DOGE cost cutters stripping fed waste away

Elon Musk and his now 100 person strong gang of Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutters are stripping the federal government of waste.

While some Americans are up in arms at the sudden upheaval, others express gratitude for Musk and his crew getting under the hood to cut through federal bureaucracy and bring the way it runs into the 21st century.

**SNIP**

The DOGE-bros – the first 12 were referred to by President Trump as “geniuses” – are a corps comprised largely of twentysomething techies, some of whom dropped out of college, who see themselves on a mission to make America’s finances great again – even though federal government mass firing victims wish they would all go back to Silicon Valley. However, Musk shows no interest in leaving or slowing things down.

Here are key members of the Musk posse:

Kendall Lindemann

Though the twentysomething Lindemann did not make the cut as an Olympic swimmer (the University of Tennessee grad competed in Olympic Trials), she did get recruited from a previous job at Russell Street Ventures to join DOGE. She was presumably brought on Brad Smith, head of Russell Street who is also high up in the DOGE echelon and previously worked on Operation Warp Speed, the federal government’s coronavirus vaccine development program under the last Trump government.

Lindemann is public about her religious beliefs and married to University of Texas alumni Reid Lindemann, who works as a software engineer.

Luke Farritor

Wired reported that Farritor, 23, is one of four DOGE staffers operating out of the General Services Administration’s top floor with free run of the place and access to its computer systems.

He has previously worked as a SpaceX intern and snagged a fellowship with billionaire Peter Thiel, who wrote him a $100,000 check to drop out of school...

Mad Maxine will lose her wig after hearing she got beat by some college dropouts.

Rolling audits by these or any others is a cover story.

Fact is that the fed govt has undergone the audit for the last 4 years. We’re now in the reveal stage. Doge gurus make it appear as if new stuff is uncovered daily.

Nope.

Army of DOGE or maybe DOGE Army is a great name for a band.

You have a point there. This outfit sure looks racist, doesn’t it. Time to shut it down.
