The feud of the trump deer makes some doge staff worry about their future: Source

In the heel of public war the words between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, anxiety increased among the remaining staff from the government efficiency department established by Musk, with some staff worried not only about their future in government but also had the potential to be an administrative target in the future, according to sources.

Some Doge staff are still embedded in all federal institutions worried that the cracks and public mud between Trump and Musk can make them vulnerable to political retaliation and damage the prospects of their work in the future, various sources who are familiar with internal discussions told ABC News.

Some afraid of their relationship with Doge can make them target if the feud increases and Trump moves to investigate the initiative of government installation led by Musk until he walks away last week, the source said.

Others are worried that if Trump keeps away from Doge, their bond with it can be a professional responsibility, said the source.

Musk, CEO of billionaire Tesla and Spacex, grew close to Trump for the past year when he campaigned for Trump’s re -election before helping to launch Doge to try to fulfill Trump’s goal to cut the federal government. A push-government entity, Doge has caused controversy because of government institutions that are closed and gain access to sensitive data.

The relationship between the president and the richest person in the world erupted into an exchange of insults to social media on Thursday when Musk slammed Trump because of “unwise sense” during the 2024 election while Trump threatened to “end the subsidy and Elon government contract.”

In the midst of quarrels, the host of the war space and former advisor Trump Steve Bannon, the old ally of Trump who has criticized Musk for years, has called for the president to launch an investigation to billionaires after the explosion on Thursday.

“This is a national security issue,” Bannon said on his event on Thursday. “We deal with very unstable individuals say dangerous things about the President of the United States. He must be investigated … and all government contracts must be suspended.”

Some of the Top Musk allies who served as special government employees with Musk, including Steve Davis, his old Lieutenant and DOge operational leader, departed last week together with Musk. But many Doge employees remain embedded in all federal institutions, including in the personnel management office, veteran affairs, treasury, IRS, and social security administration, the source said.

However, Musk’s departure marked the main turning point for Doge and how he would function everyday, considering that officials like Davis helped lead the Doge team every day for months throughout the federal government.

In the absence of Musk, Doge staff will continue to report to the leadership of each agent, said the source. Last week, the White House said that moving forward “Doge leaders are each and every member of the presidential and presidential cabinet itself.”

The source told ABC News that some Doge staff still working in the Federal government had begun to find work elsewhere. And while there are concerns among some of their future career prospects, several major technology companies have expressed their interest in employing doge alumni – with companies such as coinbases and even created special recruitment portals that specifically recruit former Doge staff.

Deputy Secretary of the Press Principal of the White House Harrison Fields said to ABC News in a statement, “Mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and harassment is part of the Federal Government DNA and will continue to be under the direction of the President, its cabinet, and agent heading to improve the efficiency of the government and prioritize the management of responsibility for the taxpayer dollar.” “

Asked about the potential for investigative to Doge, a White House advisor said the President only focused on passing his signature expenditure bills, known as “beautiful big bills.”

Apart from the public feud Trump and Musk, the President has not yet openly criticized Doge during the war of words, and had previously praised this initiative.

In the Availability of a White House press at the oval office last week, Trump said Musk “gave major changes in the old way of doing business in Washington” and described DOGE as “the most extensive and consequence government reform programs in generations”.

Musk, in his part, underestimated the idea that Doge needed him to survive when he left Trump’s reign last week.

“Doge is a way of life, like Buddhism,” he said. “You will not ask the question, ‘Who will lead Buddhism?'”
