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.

    That’s exactly why I kept telling people to stop promoting Pete Buttigeig as if he was this great guy. He was a McKinsey lawyer. Just because you’re gay and a Democrat does not in any way mean you’re a good person. But somehow that was the reasoning people operated under.

      Pete wasn’t a lawyer and left that place after 2.5 years. A lot of people take a job there after college because working with a lot of different companies sounds cool. Then you get in and realize that place sucks.

      The ones who leave aren’t the people you worry about. You worry about the assholes who like that place and strive to become a parter.
