Some staffers at Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing robust taxpayer-funded salaries of over six figures—sometimes from the very federal agencies they are slashing and burning. buff.ly/HUGIm2n

I think I’m going to be sick. We have 1000s of people who work in government. Can’t some of them wrestle Musk and his Hitler youth to the ground?! Can’t police jail them for breaking countless laws?! Stopping them means physically stopping them. Like toddlers they simply ignore all the words & laws.
Let’s take a look at the numbers. Here’s what we know about the salaries of some DOGE employees responsible for dismantling key parts of the government. buff.ly/HUGIm2n
Nate Cavanaugh, a 28-year-old tech entrepreneur who has taken a visible internal role in GSA, is listed as being paid just over $120,500 per year. buff.ly/HUGIm2n
Some DOGE team members, including Musk, are designated as “Special Government Employees,” These positions can be paid or unpaid, and this type of employee is not beholden to the same rules as typical federal workers. buff.ly/HUGIm2n
It’s been a busy few weeks at WIRED, and we’re just getting started. Many of you have asked how you can support our journalism in a bigger way, so we’ve introduced a new option for WIRED Superfans: $100 a year, because you really love us. buff.ly/yV7JTI4
What happened to Elon getting these guys to work for free, and for 80 hours a week even? I thought these were selfless little democracy-destroying nazi prigs, doing it for the rush of bringing down the man, owning the libs, etc. Now I gotta learn they're greedy sellouts? What is the world coming to?
