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.

    “fresher’s” is a term in Indian English, not in the US.

    They’re “Freshmen”.

    While I’m sure DOGE is young assholes, this article strikes me as dubious.

      Freshers are the British English word as well, possibly the rest of the English speaking world.

      True. I heard of “freshie” but not sure how common it is anymore.
