More than 20 Department of Government Efficiency staffers resigned Tuesday in a scathing letter that blasted how Elon Musk was running the operation.
The group of 21 said they refused to use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services in a joint resignation letter obtained by the Associated Press.
We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations, they wrote. However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.
The group, credited with being behind the firings of tens of thousands of federal employees, has largely worked in the shadows but enjoyed the full support of President Donald Trump. It is unknown how many staffers are in DOGE, but those identified as new to the departmentpreviously called the United States Digital Servicehave skewed young and inexperienced for such critical government work.
Those who quit Tuesday were civil service employees who had been a part of the digital service prior to the Musks takeover, the AP reported. Among those leaving are engineers, data scientists, and product managers.
Those departing said they left careers at Google and Amazon out of a sense of duty to public service, the AP added.
