In the latest developments concerning Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, a federal judge temporarily halted Musk's controversial contract buyout offer. This comes amid widespread turmoil, with many federal workers fearing layoffs. Notably, Marko Elez, a DOGE employee with a troubling history, resigned after controversial statements were made public. While some judges have intervened to curb Musk's aggressive strategies, the prevailing sentiment among federal employees is one of fear and mourning as job uncertainty looms large.
While we may take solace from dribs and drabs of news that the worst Musk excesses are finally facing some pushback, the overwhelming mood from within the halls of the federal government is one of mourning.
We mourn our colleagues. Many have already been informed they no longer have jobs serving the American public. We wait with bated breath to hear about others apparently in the crosshairs of would-be 'efficiency' cuts.
Of course, one of the DOGE employees who had retained access under the judge's ruling, Marko Elez, was immediately revealed by the Wall Street Journal to have pronounced himself 'a racist before it was cool' and backed up that sentiment with various racist posts.
Earlier in the day, another judge partially blocked DOGE's access to the Treasury Department's computer systems they had hastily invaded.
