Elon Musk’s DOGE Team faces DOXXING as US Attorney vows protection

• WIRED magazine doxxed six young employees of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), revealing their identities and affiliations.

• US Attorney Edward Martin has pledged to protect DOGE employees, warning of legal action against those who threaten or impede their work.

• The controversy highlights tensions between Musk's efforts to overhaul federal systems and opposition from established interests.

WIRED magazine commits journalistic malpractice, doxxes DOGE employees

In a brazen act of journalistic malpractice, WIRED magazine doxxed six young employees of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Monday, revealing their identities and affiliations with the transformational new government agency. The move came as DOGE, tasked with modernizing federal technology, has rattled the status quo by exposing systemic issues within the US Treasury and USAID.

In response, US Attorney Edward Martin has vowed to protect DOGE employees, warning of "any and all legal action" against those who threaten their work. This unfolding saga raises critical questions about the future of government transparency, accountability, and the role of private sector influence in public administration.

The Doxxing Incident:

The article, titled "The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover," identified six individuals—Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran—as key players in DOGE's operations. The magazine painted them as inexperienced and lacking the necessary expertise, suggesting their roles were part of a broader effort by Musk and his associates to gain control of federal infrastructure.

However, the article's approach was ethically questionable. By publishing the names and personal details of these individuals, WIRED potentially exposed them to harassment and threats, a practice widely condemned as doxxing. This is particularly concerning given the sensitive nature of their work and the high-profile backlash against DOGE's activities.

US Attorney's Response:

In a strongly worded letter, US Attorney Edward Martin condemned the doxxing and pledged to protect DOGE employees. "I recognize that some of the staff at DOGE has been targeted publicly," Martin wrote. "At this time, I ask that you utilize me and my staff to assist in protecting DOGE work and the DOGE workers. Any threats, confrontations, or other actions in any way that impact their work may break numerous laws."

Martin's letter emphasized the government's commitment to safeguarding those working to improve federal systems. "We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people," he stated. "We will not act like the previous administration who looked the other way as the Antifa and BLM rioters as well as thugs with guns trashed our capital city. We will protect DOGE and other workers no matter what."

DOGE is pursuing major cuts to the federal government, curtailing waste, fraud, and abuse. Recently, DOGE has publicly criticized the US Treasury for its automated payment systems, which allegedly include payments to "known fraudulent or terrorist groups." Additionally, DOGE has scrutinized USAID, accusing it of funneling money to controversial entities, including organizations linked to Burisma, the Wuhan Lab, and George Soros.

These revelations have sparked outrage among some officials and media outlets, with accusations that DOGE is overstepping its bounds and engaging in politically motivated attacks. However, others argue that DOGE's actions are necessary to address longstanding issues within federal agencies.

Musk's focus on efficiency and innovation is precisely what is needed to modernize outdated federal systems. They argue that the backlash against DOGE is driven by entrenched interests threatened by the prospect of change.

As WIRED's hit piece demonstrates, those who challenge the status quo face significant risks, both personal and professional. Yet, as US Attorney Martin has made clear, the government is committed to protecting those who seek to improve its operations.
