Over 20 US Fed Staffers Resign Instead Of Helping DOGE. Here's How Elon Musk Reacted

ABP News  

A wave of resignations hit the Department of Government Efficiency on Tuesday, as 21 US Federal technology staffers stepped down, citing ethical concerns over their roles under billionaire Elon Musk's leadership, reported Associated Press. Musk himself weighed in on social media, calling the reports "fake news" and alleging that the departing employees were "Dem political holdovers" who "would have been fired had they not resigned." "These highly skilled civil servants were working to modernise Social Security, veterans’ services, tax filing, health care, disaster relief, student aid, and other critical services," the resignation letter stated. "We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardise Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services," the resigning staffers stated.
