Musk’s DOGE Minions Refuse to Reveal Their Names When Grilling Civil Servants
www.thedailybeast.com
Federal employees say they were asked which of their colleagues should be fired during the “one-way interviews.”

Summary

Musk’s DOGE team is conducting opaque “one-way interviews” with civil servants, raising concerns over transparency and accountability significantly.

Federal workers report being interrogated about their roles and colleagues’ performance, while Musk’s aides refuse to reveal their full names.

Under the DOGE banner, Musk’s team now controls vital agencies including USAID and the Office of Personnel Management.

Civil servants are resorting to encrypted messaging to track Musk’s rapid and opaque government takeover.

    I was posting this elsewhere recently but people massively underestimate how the US’s size factors into this. You can drive 10 hours from some parts of Texas and still be in Texas. The amount of money it would take to assemble all of us willing to protest in locations that would actually matter is incredible, and protesting in small town Kentucky won’t do much for you. We flat out cannot get the whole country together. I’m like 9 hours away from the capitol and I am closer than 80% of the country to the capitol.

      It takes a day to drive west across texas.

      State capitols are well populated. The population needed is already there. Most capitols have more than 100k within A half hour drive. DC is in one of the densest population centers.

      The people are already there. That’s not the problem. The problem is giving them the will and the means to do something about it.

      A general strike of 11M people would halt the US. That’s 3.5% of our population. Space isn’t the problem
