    “Some DOGE staffers […] fear that [this shitstorm] could leave them vulnerable to political retribution and damage their future job prospects”

    I wanted to make a sarcastic comment about how so many of them are super young, and so this must sting especially. However, I couldn’t figure out a way to say this in a sufficiently mocking tone. Fuck 'em

    That’s not even remotely close to facing karma for what they have done

      Was looking for someone to point this out. DOGE cuts will be tied to the explanation of thousands of otherwise avoidable deaths

    “So, what is this 5 month gap in your CV”

    “Well, I was working for DOGE”

    “Right, I think we know enough and can end this job interview. Thank you for your time. Don’t call us, we’ll call you”.

        The guy who started bringing one of his young children around as a human shield after the United Healthcare CEO got murdered isn’t going to care about the fate of mere minions.

    Musk, for his part, downplayed the idea that DOGE needed him to survive as he left the Trump administration last week.

    “DOGE is a way of life, like Buddhism,” he said. “You wouldn’t ask the question, ‘Who would lead Buddhism?’”

    Grandiose much?

      Doge charges in places and gets hundreds of thousands of government employees fired. Retribution only makes sense.

      Is it weird that I feel somewhat relieved that it happened so fast? I was expecting consequences to take a few years to happen, but we didn’t even get to the 6-month mark. I guess karma is working overtime right now.

        I know a large part of his doge dogs are independently rich. They were selected based on being lucky enough to be given daddy’s ceo job first, then dumb enough to listen to him next. You know the type.

    I’m certain Elon will look after his young protégés, right? Surely the richest man in the world wouldn’t leave them all out to dry?

    “If you fire me I will release…” looks at data for a bit, cherry picking some juicy morsels, decides on “…this!”. So I think Elon’s techno-thugs should be safe for a while longer.

    Others worry that if Trump distances himself from DOGE, their ties to it could become a professional liability, said sources.

    Oh you sweet summer child. It was always going to be a professional liability

      And rightly so. If we ever get back to some semblance of normalcy, anyone who bent the knee should be blackballed from government work.
