From the Center
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
More than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), citing their refusal to use their technical expertise to "dismantle critical public services."
Musk, the world's richest man, and adviser to former President Trump, faced backlash as the departing staffers voiced concerns over the department's mission, which have included thousands of layoffs and contract cancellations.
Newsweek has reached out to DOGE's media contact via email on Tuesday morning for comment.
