   “Elon Musk’s DOGE is just a rebranded version of RAGE [Retire All Government Employees]. He demands mass resignations, locks career employees out of their offices, threatens to delete entire departments, and seizes total control of sensitive government systems and programs. DOGE = RAGE, masked in the bland language of “efficiency.”

     “Undermining the credibility of the federal government, downplaying legal oversight, and defying regulatory authorities. Dismantling government agencies and functions with no plan for their replacement.”

     “DOGE is gutting teams, demanding mass resignations, locking employees out of offices, and threatening mass layoffs in federal government. Meanwhile, DOGE is recruiting inexperienced young men who owe their loyalty to Musk/Thiel.”

     “[The] core idea…is a corporate takeover of governments, which will afterward be run like tech companies… Just as Musk took over Twitter…, he will now defrock civil servants, experts, and anyone who is loyal to democracy instead of the current regime.”
