The practice, which has been questioned by ethics experts, may give Elon Musk’s allies influence well after he formally leaves the White House.
Gavin Kliger, a U.S. DOGE Service software engineer in his mid-20s, arrived at Internal Revenue Service headquarters in February, telling senior agency officials he was there to root out waste, fraud and abuse.
Then, according to three people with direct knowledge of the events, he placed five government-issued laptops on a conference table and requested a sixth computer that would give him access at the IRS.
First, why has not a single person even attempted to physically deny these people access? Second, why can the resistance not muster up a tech-based offense? I refuse to believe that all US cybersecurity experts or hackers are alt-right shitheads and DOGE goons.
People have? The doge team have us Marshalls that let them in and push the staffers out of the way. It’s happened at the IRS, USAID, and others.
Here’s an agency which doge had no right to close still getting pushed out after blockading the office.
