Summary
Federal employees are defying Elon Musk’s threats against leakers who share information with the media about his DOGE.
Despite Musk warning that leakers “will be found” after a Pentagon briefing leak, many workers feel obligated to expose what they call dysfunction.
Staff are taking extensive precautions—using encrypted messaging apps like Signal, avoiding government devices, and meeting in person—while expressing concerns about surveillance.
One FDA employee stated, “We are public servants, not Elon’s servants,” reflecting widespread sentiment that transparency outweighs personal risk.
Speaking as a Federal employee myself, this is now the 4th president I’m serving under. Some of my colleagues have seen more come and go. We were here before Elon and we will be here after.
Well at the rate things are going, you might not be there after; sadly.
You’ve served under 4 presidents. How many dictators?
The same one twice
Then you might wake the fuck up and not have such a flippant attitude.
You:
Dude, fuck you. You don’t know me. I’ve been on the front line dealing with DOGE’s bullshit since day 1. I’ve been to 4 protests in as many weeks. I’ve made numerous phone calls to my representatives.
Fuck Elon and fuck you too
Bro stfu you literally don’t go there.
