When the first news breaks on Elon Musk's technology to the US government, some have spent many years trying to change the federal IT activities as a surprising hope. Perhaps they dreamed, Elon Musk and his group at the Government's effectiveness (DOGE) will provide a long -term push for an uncompromising bureaucracy and Antediluvian.
A more positive approach is a more positive approach if we will make any progress in our lives. (He left in 2017, before Trump was inaugurated for the first time.) Dickerson said Executive command Trump issued on the first day of the second term, where Doge was established as a temporary organization in the government, really what he wanted to see in Obama's founder for the agency. He especially likes the paragraph forcing agencies to allow USDS groups to access systems and records. It was a magic bullet, but it would create a strong assumption they need to cooperate, he said. We don't really have that, so it is quite optional even if anyone wants to work with us.
Some of the upcoming leaders of the Government Technology team, both are proud of their achievements and disappointed because they are not able to change the chaos of federation, IT,, Share the same hope. The USDS Mina Hsiang's director who called Doge's power was a great opportunity. Former Federal Information Director Clare Martorana expressed excitement that the order would force the budget sharing agencies with Doge, considering it an opportunity to regain her shroud and finally find the place where the muscles. This mandarin conceals waste. This information can notify the wise decisions about what to be cut, with the northern star valid for the American people. I was trying to be optimistic about it, she told me.
Before the inauguration, Jennifer Pahlka, former Deputy Director of Technology under Obama and one of the founders of USDS, wrote an essay called Hoi.Bring Elon into a knife battleIn it summarizes the feeling: Many people in the Government technology community do not see Doge as their Savior, but they feel vindicated after many years of shouting in the gap.
If any former official really believes that Musk will run with the opportunity to reform government in a construction way, then those imagers have been broken. Musk and Doge have brought a group of young technologies and experienced executives, who may have grasped the moment to focus on making the government work better. But so far, they have used their access and power to exhausted the federal labor force and defecate the programs for thought reasons, not seem to be random thinking about consequence. Yes, Musk declared that a champion of the people against the bureaucracy: If the bureaucracy is responsible, what does democracy really mean? He asked in one The appearance of Oval Oval Bizarre This week while Trump looked at and Musk's 4 -year -old son was worried. But the acts are actually performed by Doge that is not synchronized with this affection, especially when the moves seem to be the opposite of the measures approved by the National Assembly and sign a law. It is not terrible democracy. I think the government is a good thing, and it needs a big, faster change than anyone in political leadership has any appetite, Mr. Pah Pahlka told me. Because we don't do that, this seems to be what we get.
Ann Lewis, who until the end of last year, topped technological conversion services, a agency for the use of modern technology to make the government access to its citizens, also already Try to see Doge taking over in a positive light. It doesn't take much time to make that light fade. The model that brings people in the private sector with new views and skills and those who want to help is a great idea, she told me. However, we do not see people from the private sector who have a lot of experience want to understand how everything works.
