After leading a charge to fire thousands of federal workers,
DOGE employees are now wondering whether they could be next thanks to the world’s richest man’s apparent
animosity towards the president.
With Musk’s oversight, the now-former adviser to the president deployed DOGE staff to purge the workforce, gut entire agencies and slash billions of dollars in grant funding and research.
Some of Musk’s top DOGE lieutenants connected to his companies were
hired for full-time roles drawing large salaries. Among them: Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, Luke Farritor, and Ethan Shaotran, who have had
unprecedented access to the inner workings of critical government agencies.
