Summary
A federal employee revealed that Elon Musk’s DOGE conducted 15-minute interviews where staff had to “justify their existence” to “college freshers.”
After Musk’s visit, he called for a 50% agency cut, with the bottom 30% of performers facing layoffs.
Supervisors must now submit justification forms for employees.
The speaker also claimed Musk, his “wife,” and child are living inside the agency.
He likely has security. And it wouldn’t shock me one bit if he has a SS detail.

That venn diagram is becoming a circle more and more each day

To clarify I’m not advocating someone do this. Merely surprized no one has tried
It’s because most of the people who have access, or would have access, are comfortable. The majority of people who undertake actions that will render them Public Enemy #1 are in a religious fervor, situations they think are unbearable or will end them anyway, or are hyped by the (sometimes real) thought that they are acting with the social support of everyone they care about. Luigi, as an example, supposedly suffers from horrible pain in his back, and likely thought that most agreed with him on the evil qualities of healthcare insurers.
Government employees are generally well paid and have good benefits. They’ll have families or significant mental/emotional investments in things that they don’t want to see suffer because of their actions. Even in the most liberal/progressive of areas, there will also be enough colleagues/associates around that would lick trump’s feces to ruin thoughts that ‘the majority’ of people would support their actions. The ones who are about to be fired may be pushed into a category above, but by that point they’ll have that potential access cut off.
