Unmasked: Musk’s Secret DOGE Goon Squad—Who Are All Under 26
Elon Musk’s team of young DOGE disruptors have been unmasked, much to the ire of the billionaire and other MAGA figures. One is a 19-year-old college freshman and heir to a popcorn fortune. Another was hosting Model UN sessions in 2019 and a third was given money by his parents to invest in...
You couldn't make this up.
Hmm.
LoL.
With USAID's funding stream drying up, Democrats now face a new challenge: finding new sources to finance professional protesters/rioters. Paging Alex Soros.

Same age as the founding fathers of the United States. These kids are genius level. How would it be any different if it was 40 or 50 year old. Older people are better at keeping secrets?These engineers and in one case a kid still in school with no public experience now have access to the treasury departments payment system.Unmasked: Musk’s Secret DOGE Goon Squad—Who Are All Under 26

Experience > IQ.
They are drones executing the Nazi's orders.
You want to compare them to the founding fathers?
That is one way to trash your own country. lol.

You have no idea who these young men are. I’m not trashing anyone by comparing these geniuses to those geniuses. Chelsea Manning was 22, Edward Snowden 29. Age really doesn’t have much to do with being an obedient drone.
What experience do you want? Some old guy who has spent his career in govt going through stacks of papers one by one? These people are highly educated software engineers and top of their class. They are exactly the type of people I’d hire to develop algorithms to snake through these shady systems of the US government.
No I wouldn't want anyone.
I would want the unelected Nazi, to get the f out of the government.
He and DOGE should not even exist.
Elon Musk Is "Special Government Employee", White House Confirms
Elon Musk Is ‘Special Government Employee,’ White House Confirms
Musk ‘can’t do and won’t do anything without our approval, and we’ll give him the approval where appropriate,’ Trump said.
www.theepochtimes.com
The White House on Monday confirmed that Space X and Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk is considered a “special government employee” under the Trump administration amid questions about his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Speaking to reporters at the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Musk’s federal status and added, “I can also confirm that he has abided by all applicable federal laws.”
Leavitt was also asked about Musk’s security clearance. She said she didn’t know but would check on it.
The designation allows Musk, the world’s richest person, to work for the federal government and potentially avoid disclosure rules regarding possible conflicts of interest and finances that generally apply to other government staff. Special government employees are appointed for no more than 130 days.
President Donald Trump said that Musk “can’t do and won’t do anything without our approval, and we’ll give him the approval where appropriate; where not appropriate, we won’t.”
The Republican president also downplayed complaints about Musk’s alleged conflict of interests, saying, “Where we think there’s a conflict or there’s a problem, we won’t let him go near it, but he has some very good ideas.”
One of the most significant steps was DOGE gaining access to the U.S. Treasury payment system, which is responsible for 1 billion payments per year totaling $5 trillion. It includes sensitive information involving bank accounts and Social Security payments.
It’s unclear what Musk wants to do with the payment system. He has said that he could trim $1 trillion from the federal deficit “just by addressing waste, fraud and abuse.”
Democratic lawmakers have decried what they characterize as an unelected billionaire amassing too much power over the federal government.
“That’s the biggest data hack ever in the world,” Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) told reporters in Madison, Wisconsin.
“I am outraged about it,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Capitol Hill, adding that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent must revoke Musk’s access to the payment system.
“We must halt this unlawful and dangerous power grab.”
In a post on the Musk-owned social media platform X, Schumer saidthat DOGE isn’t “a real government agency” and lacks authority to make spending decisions or to shut down programs.
In response, Musk wrote on X on Tuesday morning that Schumer’s reaction is “hysterical” and that DOGE “is doing work that really matters.”
He framed DOGE’s mission in existential terms.
Meanwhile, a group representing retirees and union workers suedBessent and the U.S. Treasury Department on Monday in a bid to get them to stop sharing personal and financial information with DOGE.
“The scale of the intrusion into individuals’ privacy is massive and unprecedented,” the groups wrote in their complaint, filed in the District of Columbia federal court.
Aside from the Treasury Department, Musk and Trump have set their sights on the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), with both saying that the organization has been led by radicals and needs to be dissolved.
On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that he is now the acting director of USAID. He said the agency lacked accountability and that its staff did not follow orders.
Right after White House announced this, Elon tweets that “he takes the short bus to work”. Lol I love this guys trolling sense of humor.Elon Musk Is "Special Government Employee", White House Confirms

Whar a special guy.
Some of the most insane USAID spending that was recently found: - $2 million for Moroccan pottery classes - $2 million promoting tourism to Lebanon - $20 million for a Sesame Street show in Iraq - Sending Ukranians to Paris Fashion Week - $1.5 million for DEI in Serbia - $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland - $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia - $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru - $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala - $6 million for tourism in Egypt - $1 million to help disabled people in Tajikistan become climate leaders - $15 million for 'contraceptives and condoms’ in Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan
The Leftist frenzy over Musk is now on par with Trump. What a badge of honor, for Musk. His “it’s rotten, close it” approach is the only way.
We have to expand the mental disorder to
Trump Musk Derangement Syndrome.
I love this......

"Rank Insubordination": Rubio Says USAID Full Of Rogue Employees
TUESDAY, FEB 04, 2025 - 11:40 AM
Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed the US Agency for International Development (USAID) for what he called "rank insubordination," and is full of rogue employees who do whatever the hell they want.
"Well, that was always the goal was to reform it, but now we have rank insubordination," Rubio told Fox News, in comments just one day after President Trump announced that Rubio would serve as the acting head of USAID - which itself came after Elon Musk's DOGE team descended upon the agency and revealed that "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That's why it's got to go. It's beyond repair."
According to Rubio, "Now we have basically an active effort — their basic attitude is, ‘We don’t work for anyone, we work for ourselves, no agency of government can tell us what to do."
"So the president made me the acting administrator," he added. "I’ve delegated that power to someone who is there full-time, and we’re going to go through the same process at USAID as we’re going through now at the State Department."
According to Rubio, USAID has lost its focus and abandoned the "national interest" - telling Fox: "They have basically evolved into an agency that believes that they’re not even a U.S. government agency, that they are out — they’re a global charity, that they take the taxpayer money, and they spend it as a global charity irrespective of whether it is in the national interest or not in the national interest."
"One of the most common complaints you will get if you go to embassies around the world from State Department officials and ambassadors and the like is USAID is not only not cooperative — they undermine the work that we’re doing in that country, they are supporting programs that upset the host government for whom we’re trying to work with on a broader scale, and so forth," Rubio added.
On Monday, deep state crusaders Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD) staged a dramatic protest outside the USAID headquarters, with Omar suggesting that Trump's move to fold the agency into the State Department was "what the beginning of dictatorship looks like!" - and Raskin suggesting that Elon Musk had "illegally seized power over the financial payment systems of the United States Department of Treasury," adding "Elon Musk, you didn’t create USAID," and that Musk "doesn’t have the power to destroy it."

DOGE and the budget audit of doom
the commanding heights of the unravelling to come
i told you you were not ready.
well, here it is:
and i quote:
DC is going to feel like it’s being invaded by an entire bestiary of mythical monsters with magical powers who can see through walls and huck immovable objects over the horizon.
they will come from every side at once. they will replace thousands of federal employees right from the start, you’ll be fighting against the outside and the inside. they’re going to transfer and move those permanent staters they cannot fire. have fun in topeka or guam. they’re lovely this time of year.
they are not going to play nice or play fair.
they are going to get things done.
meet the new boss, nothing whatsoever like the old boss.
not this time. maybe never again.
DC lacks even a model to guess at how effective people like this can be even when fighting from the outside. with the keys to the kingdom, it’s something else entirely. the sheer energy and activity of DOGE is staggering the swamp dwellers.
being crawled over by AI and insight and energy of this magnitue is a new new thing.
welcome to “dismantle leviathan” the fun new game that all the cool kids are playing.
i warned you about how these people were not going to act like the gormless opposition party of old. they will understand the system better than you do. and they’re going to tear it down.
DC is finally starting to see how much trouble it is in and people are freaking out. the moves are coming too fast for the news cycle to even keep up with. and DC has mostly already lost. all the high ground has been taken and now it’s just going to be about squeezing.
DOGE grabbed the OMB and the treasury payments system.
that’s it. lights out, game over.
the simple fact is this: half the permanent state is a massive grifter-plex of special interests running amok and waging war on we the people for their own benefit. it’s 1000’s of unelected anointed running groups like this:
they got $769 million back in 2022. their sole aim is to encourage illegal immigration and to make expelling such illegal aliens more difficult. it’s taxpayer money spent to create outcomes that most taxpayers would happily pay to avoid. it’s a jobs program for cronies and extra-governmental activism to subvert the basic sovereignty of the state and it’s ability to serve the demos.
there are innumerable groups like this. back in SF we called it “the homeless industrial complex.” they got huge budgets based on how many homeless people they “served.” but if they ever actually got them off the streets, they got less money. it was literally capitated. so they fed them, gave them money for drugs, and made it impossible to arrest them no matter what they did. they donated to politicians who favored that. the incentive were entirely perverse.
the circle of malfunction is like a plasmid for anti-social outcomes. it takes taxpayer money and uses it to fund agencies that create outcomes (like homelessness or illegal immigration) which taxpayers hate. these agencies then donate some of that taxpayer money to politicians who then force taxpayers to pay more money to solve the now larger problem.
lather. rinse. repeat.
and this is not even the awful part.
from ukraine to climate science to NIH to 100 different agencies like USAID, money is being funneled everywhere and stolen in wholesale quantities.
USAID and who knows who else were all out meddling for decades in foreign elections. they have probably been meddling in ours.
suddenly, these agencies are losing their minds about “declassification efforts.”
it certainly does make on wonder: why were they classifying anything at all? wasn’t this supposed to be aid?
and DC is finally realizing how much trouble they are in and leviathan is shrilling in terror and rage, but it’s already way too late.
threads are exposed, they will be pulled, and this is going to, for the first time in generations, tear the covers off these boxes and let us see what’s inside. and it’s not gonna be pretty friends. i’m telling you point blank: however bad you fear this was - it’s worse.
the middle of the american overton is about to see that government is 80% money laundering and unaccountable tyranny and theft by weight.
the DC denizens so far behind the game that even the tepid resistance looks hilariously slow, tepid, and lame.
imagine thinking this was going to score points in the current zeitgeist.
WIRED STORIES are trying to call this tyranny by the inexperienced.
it’s not.
AOC and “the squad” are out howling about how this
is dictatorship and a grab of unaccountable power.
it’s not.
this is the end of those things and the rage at the dying of the lechery is so deliciously insincere that it’s hard not to smile.
they are in absolute trauma that DOGE has access to the treasury payment systems.
i told you they’d find just the right place to put the lever and pry.
that’s it. OMB and payments. it’s the whole game, the commanding heights.
let me esplain, because what’s going on is brilliant:
OMB is the government’s HR department. the payments system is how the treasury actually sends out money, the pipes of payola.
these two systems touch everything in government. everyhting. all the jobs, all the money. every program and person passes through this at some point.
it’s the universal chokepoint.
so, everyone has to come into work now. let’s get your faces seen and learn what you do here. all the people who have had no-show sinecures for decades are going to get bounced out.
hey, where does the money go?
time to find out.
there is no way, even with AI to ferret out all these groups, their cutouts, their subterfuge and skullduggery. it’s too deep, too vast, too well hidden and camouflaged.
you cannot find them.
so you make them find you.
you shut the money off and see who squawks.
it turns out that whole cadres of federal payment officers were told “just pay whatever comes in.” do not say no. ever.
it also turns out that all you had to do was shut off the flow of free food and many the cockroaches would walk right out into the middle of the kitchen floor and announce themselves.
this will not be true for all. some programs are too secret and the folks running them too smart to step into the light. but this also means that they cannot get the money turned back on.
it’s no longer “everyone gets paid and the dirty slush flows” it’s “tell us who you are, what you’re doing, or enjoy a lifetime supply of being broke.”
no more aid agency cutout. no more fake programs to launder and shift money to unannounced and unaccountable purpose.
it became very vogue to bet against DOGE.
that bet is not faring well.
whole industries of zero skill government grubbers are suddenly going to be on the job market.
the size of the special interest slush fund funding who knows what for who knows what purposes and then driving circular donations back to the political grant giver class from the politician grant given class has been the dirty secret of the deep state for generations.
let’s unwind it and see if we miss any of it.
the money saved on them is the least of the benefit.
mitigating their mischief will go far further. it’s a truly awesome selector that has never been tried before.
drag it ALL out into the light and then decide.
no money without accountability.
no transparency, no money.
this is how you break the matrix.
“so you’re saying that after this, i’ll be able to dodge secret government agencies?”
“no neo, after this, i’m saying you won’t have to.”

That the only most interesting & informative post on DOGE ! You will see lots of arrest warrants for corruption & kickbacks in the news when DOGE exposed it all for everyone to see. That will include democratic & republicans ( RINOs) !
