Coristine, a recent high school graduate who studied mechanical and physics engineering in the north -worked earlier for Musk’s Neuralink project, reported Wired.

According to reports, Bobba and Costine work directly under Anna Scalas as “experts” at the United States Personnel Management Office (OPM).

Kliger is listening to Linkedin as a special advisor to the director of the OPM and attended UC Berkeley in 2020. Kliger has also worked at the AI ​​data company.

Another substitute post is headed: “Why I gave up a seven -digit salary to save America.”

Killian appears as a volunteer from DOGE who attended the McGill University after graduating from high school in 2019. Wired reported that Killian previously worked as an engineer in a company called Jump Trading, which is about financial shops and algorithms. high frequency.

Shaotran studied computer science at Harvard University last year and is the founder of Energiz Ai, a startup with Openai. In addition, Shaotran participated in a “hackathon” sponsored by an Elon Musk company where he finished second.

Farritor, who left the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has an e-mail address of GSA he worked, he was formerly an interior for Spacex and is also a Thiel companion.

By 2023, at the age of 21, Farritor became the first person to discolve the text successfully within a 2,000 -year Greek displacement with Ia, according to the Nebraska University website.

According to Wired, Bobba, Coristine, Farritor and Shaotran have GSA emails that work together with an A-Suite level authorization that allows them to work on the upper GSA floor with access to all computer systems.

Fox News Digital contacted OPM and GSA to comment.

Speaking on Tuesday to Peter DOOCY of Fox News in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump praised the intelligence of some of the young hires working for DOGE.

“It’s OK,” Trump said about 19 -year hiring. “They are very smart, however, Peter. They are like you. They are very smart people.

“No, I didn’t see them,” Trump said when he asked if he had met the team. “They actually work outside the White House as smart people, unlike what they do in the control towers. We need smart people. We should use some in the control towers, where we put people That they were really intellectual deficient this was one of the qualifications is that you could be intellectual deficient.

“No. We need smart people. Some are young and some are not young. Some are not young. But they found great things. Look at the list of things. I’ll do it … maybe I will do it tomorrow.” Read a list of 15 or 20 things they found in USAID.

Elon Musk has also published publicly online about the qualifications he is looking for and the strength of his team.

“If you are a hardcore software engineer and you want to create the Everythering application, unite -you, sending your best work to Code@x.com,” published Musk A X in January. “We don’t mind where you went to school even if you went to school or which” big name “company you worked on. Just show us your code.”

In another X post This week, Musk wrote, “Time to Confess: Media Reports says that @doge has some of the best software engineers in the world are in fact certain.”

Wired cited sources that raised worries about the liquidation of the Musk team and the Democrats in Congress have been fighting DOGE in recent days, arguing that DOGE has done it received an improper access to various government systems.

Musk has retreated to the criticism of Democrats, including complaints about DOGE’s participation in the monitoring of treasure payment.

Musk also responded to democratic critics, including the annoying ones for their efforts to promote USAID reforms, saying that “hysterical reactions” demonstrate the importance of DOGE’s work.

“An unprecedented shadow government is taking a hostile federal government,” a place on New York Senator X account, Chuck Schumer, echoed the legislator during a press conference .

“DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to close the programs or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be left to endure. Congress must take measures to restore the rule of law. “

Musk described the effort of cutting —S Waste and government bureaucracy As a unique opportunity.

“Hysterical reactions like this is how you know that @doge does a job that really matters,” he wrote in response to Schumer.

“This is what has shot that the North -American people must defeat bureaucracy, the rule of bureaucrats and restore democracy, the rule of people. We will never have another opportunity like this. Now is or never. Your Support is crucial.

“DOGE complies with President Trump’s commitment to make the Government more responsible, efficient and, most importantly, restoring the proper management of the most won dollars of the American taxpayer,” said a spokesman for the White House in Fox News Digital.
