“Who is Doge?” It is a metaphysical question

With the organization’s mission expanding, the question of who Doge is is based on almost metaphysical quality. According to Trump’s January 20 executive order, by establishing Doge, all federal agencies must create a Doge team of at least four employees. (Ehikan’s claim that the GSA does not have a Doge team may be technically true, but if so, the agency appears to be violating the order.)

These teams (some of which are career civil servants, certainly not Doge employees. However, subsequent orders, including the March 20th order to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse and data silos, are We have significantly expanded the scope of Doge’s workaccording to lawsuits filed by the AFL-CIO and other labor groups, “waste, fraud, abuse” is not a magical word, leading to one of the plaintiffs who argue that it cannot evoke the need to grant Doge team members the most sensitive and demanding access to personal information from Americans.

All of this is the boundary between the people who work for Doge and who is enthusiastic about it. I’m doing it Doge is blurry at best.

Take Doge affiliate and former Tesla employee Riley Sennott, according to a recent business insider Report He was listed as a “senior advisor” for NASA and appeared to work in the GSA too. Wired confirmed that Sennott was listed as an “IT Specialist” GS-15 employee in GSA payroll at the time. Charles Sennott, the father of the journalist, published a column later that month in the Columbia Journalism Review, explicitly stated that his son is working for the GSA. “It’s fair to say that Riley’s current work is part of the broader efforts that the public has come to know as Doge,” Elder Sennot said. I wrote it– But he argued that “The General Services Bureau is not the same as Elon Musk’s self-proclaimed government efficiency, or Doge.”

Includes many other well-known Doge team members Edward “Big Ball” ColistineEthan Xiaotlan, Nicole Hollander, Jeremy Lewin, Luke Falittle, Kyle Schute, Nathan Kavanaugh, Justin Imonetti and Ashley Boisell commented on March 20, according to documents seen by Wired. (Coristine, Shaotran, Hollander and Farritor are listed as having salaries of $0, while others collect between $120,000 and $150,000 a year.) Sara Sami, president of the federal agency, says she doesn’t necessarily confirm that the GSA will work inside the agency as it pays for other duties and committees. “They could be categorized as Doge employees, but their salaries could be implemented through the GSA,” she says. GSA employees can do so too detail To other institutions.

Still, GSA employees say they watch Doge affiliate marketing in their offices every week. Wired has confirmed sightings of Coristine, Shaotran, Farritor, Cavanaugh, Gavin Kliger and Marko Elez over the past few months.

“They are young tech brothers who roam around with them,” says a current GSA employee. “It’s clear who they are,” I agree another.
