Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has hired staff with substantial taxpayer-funded salaries to execute aggressive cuts at various federal agencies, including USAID and the GSA. Notable employees such as Jeremy Lewin and Kyle Schutt earn high salaries, contradicting Musk's initial claim of zero compensation for workers. The department's actions have included layoffs in key technological units, while also planning to sell over 500 government buildings. This raises concerns about efficiency, transparency, and the ethical implications of paying high salaries during a downsizing phase.
Staffers at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency are drawing substantial taxpayer-funded salaries while overseeing aggressive layoffs at federal agencies.
DOGE's role includes dismantling entities like USAID and has led to major cuts, including layoffs of technology efficiency units within the GSA.
Musk initially portrayed DOGE as a volunteer-based organization, promising that compensation would be zero, contrasting sharply with the high salaries of its employees.
Amidst changing leadership, DOGE has aggressively pursued the sale of government properties, raising concerns about the agency's transparency and operational ethics.
