DOGE workers quit rather than help Musk "dismantle critical public services"


Nearly two dozen former employees of the US Digital Services resigned today rather than "carry out or legitimize DOGE's actions."

About 40 people from the original Digital Service staff were fired by the Elon Musk-led team known as DOGE earlier this year, and the remaining 65 employees were incorporated into his unit. "We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services," the former employees wrote in a resignation letter obtained by the Associated Press. The Digital Services director, Anne Marshall, also resigned from her post last week, stating in a public letter that "This is not the mission I came to serve."
