11. These were not people hired by DOGE

I have a friend who works for the federal government and worked closely with some of the people who resigned. Most if not all of them were not people hired by DOGE. They were people who originally worked for United States Digital Services (USDS), which DOGE took over and renamed. USDS was created by President Obama in 2014 with the goal of improving and simplifying digital service, and improving federal websites. The mission of the agency was to "deliver better government services to the American people through technology and design." My friend says that many of the people who resigned were part of and helped build USDD from the very beginning. Ultimately, they realized they just couldn't stay and help Musk dismantle the government.
