Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon
Musk’s squad that’s criss-crossing US government
agencies, was fired from an internship after he
was accused of sharing information with a
competitor.

Hackers wasted no time in infiltrating the
Department of Government Efficiency’s website.

After its hasty launch this week, at least two
pages of the site have been defaced by critics
who seemingly have accessed a database the
page draws from.

404 Media, which first discovered the hacked
pages, quoted anonymous experts who said the
DOGE page does not appear to be hosted on
government servers and was pulling data from
a database that can be accessed by third
parties. That opened the doors for the
embarrassing criticism.



https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/upshot/doge-contracts-musk-trump.html
The Department of Government Efficiency, the
federal cost-cutting initiative championed by
Elon Musk, published on Monday a list of
government contracts it has canceled,
together amounting to about $16 billion in
savings itemized on a new “wall of receipts”
on its website.

Almost half of those line-item savings could
be attributed to a single $8 billion contract
for the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agency. But it appears that the
DOGE list vastly overstated the actual
intended value of that contract. A closer
scrutiny of a federal database shows that
a recent version of the contract was for
$8 million, not $8 billion. A larger total
savings number published on the site,
$55 billion, lacked specific documentation.

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries

SOME STAFFERS AT Elon Musk’s so-called
Department of Government Efficiency are
drawing robust taxpayer-funded salaries
from the federal agencies they are slashing
and burning, WIRED has learned.

When Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE
in November, he described the work as
“tedious” and noted that “compensation is
zero.” WIRED previously reported that the
DOGE recruitment effort relied in part on
a team of engineers associated with Peter
Thiel and was carried out on platforms
like Discord.

Although Musk has described DOGE as “maximum
transparent,” it has not made its spending
or salary ranges publicly available. Funding
for DOGE had grown to around $40 million as
of February 20, according to a recent
ProPublica report. The White House did not
respond to questions about the salary ranges
for DOGE employees or how the budget is
allocated to pay them.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months,
Risking Benefits and System Collapse

Social Security systems contain tens of
millions of lines of code written in COBOL,
an archaic programming language. Safely
rewriting that code would take years--
DOGE wants it done in months.
