USDS Engineering Director Resigns: 'This Is Not the Mission I Came to Serve'


“I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” wrote Anne Marshall in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday.

The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service —has resigned from her position. Up until Tuesday, the only DOGE representative to join a broader legacy USDS team meeting was Stephanie M. Holmes, who identified herself as the group’s new HR person. On Monday, Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House Office of Administration, issued a sworn statement in a lawsuit claiming that Musk, who has championed and appeared to lead DOGE since Trump’s reelection, was not leading DOGE as its formal “administrator.” Fisher described Musk’s role as nothing more than “senior advisor” to the president with “no greater authority than other senior White House advisors.”
