This is Elon's fault.

DOGE is actually just a rebranding of US Digital Services, basically the IT for the Federal government.

To repeat: Elon, the idiot who blew up Twitter's technical back and frontend, is in charge of IT services for the Federal government.

EDIT: Oh dear god.

Yep, for the stuff Elon isn't directly in control of, he's appointing basically interns and other employees from his and his techbro friend's (Thiel) companies.
