The effectiveness of the Government has built a firewall from the Viking people Elon Musk's team From 200 heritage employees hired by what was previously called US digital service (USD), wired sources.
Since Musk's USD taking over the sources, USDS's initial staff has rarely contacted Musk's team. A Doge representative is expected to participate in a number of USDS meetings last week, but they did not appear. The only Legacy staff has met the recent installation staff is Friday Meet with the head of Doge's personnel, Stephanie HolmesThat Wired reported first. During that meeting, Holmes was unable to provide many answers to a series of questions related to the postponement resignation program provided to most federal staff.
They did not show that they were clearly not talking about us, a source told Wired. “It was the biggest” friend “because we waited for them to come and they didn't.”
Without a new indicator, USDS sources said they had worked as if everything was as usual, continuing to work for long -term projects made from the government of President Joe Biden.
They did not talk to us, an American employee told Wired.
As far as I can say, they are hiding, he said another person.
The Musk team's distance emphasizes the secret around Doge. Last week, Wired reports that young engineers are unnamed Assigned to interview staff at USDS and general service management agencies and sometimes code review. We are afraid of the names of those people out and their personal life is interrupted, which is exactly what happened last week, this is really a pity for them, Mr. Thomas Thomas Shedd, GSA's technology conversion service director, Indicate a meeting with an employee on Monday.

Former USDS Ted Carstensen, USDS official, an USDS official outside Musk's trajectory, resigned on Thursday. He constantly invited Musk's members, including Doge Steve Davis's senior adviser, attending staff meetings, sources told Wired, but they never showed it. Two sources said that Carstensen has repeatedly left leadership meetings and felt away from the loop in decision making. Carstensen is expected to meet Holmes on Wednesday, a source said, but the meeting was canceled at the last minute.
In a resignation email viewed by Wired, Carstensen confirmed that Thursday would be his last day. He said that he would not receive a proposal to resign, but often called Fork in the road email The federal staff received last week to provide them to continue paying salaries and benefits until September 30.
This is not an easy decision for me to make because my time at the US digital service is one of the best periods of my career. I believed in my duties and was inspired every day by the commitment, kindness and intelligence of the team, Mr. Cars Carstensen wrote. The important thing for me is to take the team to a place where people can choose their own path forward, which is where we see ourselves today. I hope each of you land on the best way for you, and I want to keep contact and see where it takes you.
Carstensen did not answer immediately asking for a comment.
Carstensen's decision rejected the FORK FORK's agreement, repeating a similar sentiment held in wider USD staff. There is a strong feeling in USDS that people do not want to take forks because they do not want to send messages that they somehow accept or approve a greater plan, a USDS source said.
In an internal meeting after the departure of Carstensen, the staff were informed that he would not be replaced and his responsibility would be spread through the rest of the organization, a source said that . During the meeting, the staff lamented the situation of the organization, fearing the departure of Carstensen showed that Musk and his group were completely controlled.
A person is almost undeniable that USDS is in the end, a person in the meeting said.
Time to start loading into boats of life, another said.
