Business Insider · DOGE staff list reveals tech vets, McKinsey alum, Supreme Court clerksBy Jack Newsham

One thing that occurred to me while contemplating the #confirmationhearings going on is that so many people are acting like most of these terrible #nominees will be in their jobs all that long.

#PresidentMusk loves to fire people, and so does #CoPresident #Trump. Even if confirmed, many of these people won't be in those jobs 6 months from now. We should be worrying about the likely replacements and how bad they'll be, especially the "acting" #Secretaries...

@danwentzel definitely they're going to try. but #PhonyStark has only had "success" by stealing from others, just like #CoPresident #Trump.

The rest of the dingleberries they're surrounding themselves with are similarly feckless.

The main question is if they'll have staffers capable of implementing these plans or if they'll spend the whole time backstabbing each other.

We'll probably know the answer by March.
