Musk vs. Doge: A hot Mess
Seems the saga of "DOGE" is apparently the most chaotic workplace drama since… well, ever? We've got resignations flying, accusations buzzing, and Elon Musk somehow, predictably, right in the middle of it all. Let's break this down, shall we?
So, apparently, "DOGE"—which, let's be real, sounds like a cryptocurrency fever dream—is a government system. And just to add to the absurdity, 21 staffers just dramatically walked out, like they were staging a rebellious ballet, proclaiming they "refuse to compromise core government systems." Core systems? What, like the ability to file your taxes without accidentally summoning a demon? What exactly are these "core systems"? Are we talking about the ability to print money, or the ability to make sure the vending machines are stocked in government buildings? Because honestly, at this point, I'm not sure.
And then, Elon Musk, because of course he is, enters the chat. Apparently, his involvement in this "DOGE" thing is causing… friction. Friction? That's like saying a supernova causes a slight breeze. No, this is a full-blown bureaucratic meltdown! The AP News tells us about the "mass resignations" and how the former staffers are citing "ethical concerns." Ethical concerns? Involving Elon Musk? Color me shocked! (That was sarcasm, by the way.)
But wait, there's more! The New York Times, dives deeper into this bureaucratic black hole. They're talking about a "civil service revolt," and how these folks are "fearing the erosion of professional standards." Professional standards? In a system called "DOGE?" I feel like the professional standards were “eroded” the moment someone named it "DOGE."
wtf even is this??
And let's not forget the sheer poetry of it all. These aren't just your average government employees. No, these are the brave souls who were part of the U.S. Digital Service (USDS). You know, the tech wizards who are supposed to be making government systems… less terrible? Apparently, even they have their limits. And that limit is apparently, Elon Musk and whatever this "DOGE" thing is.
So, to recap: We have a government system named "DOGE," mass resignations, ethical concerns, Elon Musk, and a civil service revolt. Is this a dystopian novel? A fever dream? Or just Tuesday in Washington? Honestly, I'm not sure anymore. But one thing's for sure: I'm grabbing the popcorn, because this is going to be one wild ride.
