>20 #CivilService employees resigned from billionaire #Trump adviser #ElonMusk’s DOGE, saying they would not use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”
“We swore to serve the American people & uphold our oath to the #Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint #resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by AP. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

The employees also warned that many of those enlisted by #ElonMusk to help him slash the size of the federal government under #Trump’s admin were political ideologues who did not have the necessary skills or experience for the task ahead of them.
The mass #resignation of #engineers, #DataScientists & #ProductManagers is a temporary setback for #Musk & the Republican president’s tech-driven #purge of the federal workforce.
Note: These civil servants were originally United States Digital Service (#USDS) employees. Unfortunately #DOGE took over USDS. So USDS is now DOGE so they were considered “DOGE employees”
