Before Trump was inaugurated, the USDS administrator was Mina Hsiang. After she left, Ted Carstensen was the highest heritage USDS leader, but He resigned from the organization On February 6.

Some wired people talked at USDS View Amy Glory, a former USDS official, who served in the first Trump administration, as a communication between USDS, Doge and other agencies, but little known about Her official role. Steve Davis, a long -term Musk collaborator and the president of the boring company, is another name that is rumored to be officially leading Doge. Davis has worked with Musk for many years and led the efforts to cut the costs of billionaires when taking over Twitter, now X, in 2022. Davis was so far that he was so far that Sleep on Twitter HQ With his wife Nicole Hollander and their children.

When I asked him if he was a temporary administrator, they said we didn't know. They said Brad Smith (a health care businessman who has a relationship with Davis) is serving as the Chief of Staff.
Meanwhile, when USDS staff are trying to find out who operates their agencies, dozens of them have been fired. About 50 of about 200 employees of USDS were fired on Friday.

While Musk's DOGE staff took over USDS last month, very few heritage employees interacted with their new colleagues. Earlier this month, Wired reported that Doge had built one “Firewall” Musk's group separation with the rest of the organization's workforce. The only Legacy staff had a meeting with a representative from Doge On February 1 with Stephanie HolmesHe claims to be the new personnel of the team.
The only other experiences that USDS staff has with DOGE staff is The one -on -one one -on -one interview For engineers associated with Doge, who refused to identify themselves in the first week of the Trump administration.
