We're going to see more of these bogus stories trying to rehabilitate the image of DOGE bros who happily did massive damage. The premise of "oh we really thought we were helping" is a lie.

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

washingtonpost.comHe spent 11 months inside DOGE. Now he wants to set the record straight.In his first major interview about his tell-all memoir, Tyler Hassen describes the culture clash surrounding DOGE’s mission and the backlash that followed.

remember that DOGE was Musk's true-to-form tactic of calling someone else's idea his own after he stole RAGE from Curtis Yarvin ..CY is a scumfukk too, but at least he didnt try any subterfuge w/ the moniker (Retire All Gov't Employees)

Stat News also reported that DOGE 'backfired'. I smell a press release with this framing. And I'm sure it is about rehabilitating the reputation of gleeful wreckers as well as creating a permission structure for "we're not the baddies, it just failed" for R voters. bsky.app/profile/exce...

It's kind to say that it's "backfired". Broadly, the DOGE boys knew perfectly well they were a wrecking crew. They told us! They publicly reveled in the destruction they caused.

He can set it straight by dedicating the rest of his life helping people in places where he harmed them. As in he now lives in Africa handing out food scenario. Instead of whatever the fuck this is.
