Musk's DOGE Goons Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine With Loyalty Tests
The tables have officially turned for DOGE.
The Elon Musk acolytes who just months ago were loyalty-testing non-partisan career civil servants are now being forced to prove their own loyalty to President Donald Trump.
Ever since Musk and Trump’s nuclear falling-out last month, staffers brought in by the Tesla chief as part of the “department” of government efficiency have been called into private meetings and grilled on whether they are loyal to Musk or Trump, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Some White House officials want to sideline DOGE—a nebulous cost-cutting task force operating out of the Executive Office of the President—over concerns that they’re still loyal to their old boss, sourced told the Journal.
