Staff Reports
More than twenty civil service employees from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency decided to throw in the towel, claiming they couldn’t bear to be part of the effort to trim down the bloated federal government. These resignations might raise some eyebrows, but to anyone with a functioning brain, it’s as predictable as a politician breaking a campaign promise. The Associated Press, a stalwart of left-wing bias, hurried to report the drama but conveniently buried the juiciest details of the staffers’ grievances deep within the article.
The staffers declared they refused to use their technical prowess for the noble cause of cutting government waste, insisting they had sworn an oath to serve the American people and uphold the Constitution. Of course, this sounds noble until one realizes these are the same folks who likely helped craft the digital disaster that was Healthcare.gov. Their resignation highlights a collective crisis of conscience that appears less about duty and more about clinginess to their comfortable roles within a system that has long fallen out of touch with everyday Americans.
Wow. 20+ DOGE staffers just resigned en masse, saying they refuse to use their expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”

These employees, who previously worked at the United States Digital Service during the Obama administration—presumably mastering the art of government incompetence—expressed concerns about the new team brought in by Musk. Apparently, they think a few folks from the world of tech and business might not have what it takes to effectively dismantle key public services. Sounds like a classic case of “not my idea of the American Dream,” doesn’t it? It’s almost comical how these so-called civil servants can’t fathom that effective leadership might come from outside the usual political circles.
Musk’s efforts to streamline the government and reduce waste aren’t just about saving taxpayer dollars; they serve a far greater purpose. The resignation spree highlights a troubling issue: a cabal of government employees, more loyal to their entitlement than to the Constitution, shaking in their boots at the idea of real accountability. If they think their duties involved “serving the American people”—a term often thrown around after it rings hollow—they should have known their gig was temporary, especially after an administration notorious for introducing bloated bureaucracy.
At the end of the day, these resignations show a glaring truth: eliminating waste and inefficiency isn’t everyone’s cup of government tea. Instead, it’s an opportunity to bring in fresh minds willing to tackle the challenges ahead and leave behind the stagnant ideologies that have become entrenched. So while these ex-employees may trot off in a huff, Elon Musk will undoubtedly replace them with individuals who are itching to take on the bureaucratic swamp. After all, one man’s resignation is another man’s golden opportunity.
