Musk’s DOGE Minions Refuse to Reveal Their Names When Grilling Civil Servants
www.thedailybeast.com
Federal employees say they were asked which of their colleagues should be fired during the “one-way interviews.”

Summary

Musk’s DOGE team is conducting opaque “one-way interviews” with civil servants, raising concerns over transparency and accountability significantly.

Federal workers report being interrogated about their roles and colleagues’ performance, while Musk’s aides refuse to reveal their full names.

Under the DOGE banner, Musk’s team now controls vital agencies including USAID and the Office of Personnel Management.

Civil servants are resorting to encrypted messaging to track Musk’s rapid and opaque government takeover.

      I was in the US army. There are a surprising amount of people who joined for altruistic reasons like me. It may be misguided, but it’s there. Also, the US military is smaller, fatter, and of a lower intelligence than any time in the last 80 years. But more to your point, there’s 1.2 million in the entire US military, including army, navy, Air Force, coast guard etc. theres 320+ million Americans. There’s an unknown amount of guns, but there’s definitely more guns than people. I don’t care how many drones exist. The people outnumber the military by so much that it really doesn’t matter at all, especially considering a large number of those military personnel also joined for the same altruistic reasons that I did. We also still have a handful of good people left in the government. Not a lot, but it will matter.

      Also, name one fucking time the US military won a war against a guerilla insurgency.

        The issue when we were fighting those guerillas was brutality. At the end of the day, the military command structure was worried about there being a country and people. Many countries have shown us that it is SURPRISINGLY EASY to suppress guerilla movements if you’re willing to be incredibly brutal - roving death squads, for instance, or just annihilating suspected guerilla’s families. While I do not think there’s a LOT of people in the military willing to do that, it requires a surprisingly small amount of people willing to do it to make everyone else fall in line.
