Over the past week, Elon Musk has been engaged in a near wholesale takeover of key areas of the U.S. federal government. Working under the newly minted “Department of Government Efficiency” aka DOGE, Musk and a group of young Gen Z loyalists have begun wreaking havoc on our institutions. Online culture journalist Ryan Broderick joined me to break down who exactly these young men are, what their backgrounds say about the people Musk is hiring, and what the billionaire is currently doing to the U.S. government.
That truly feels good to hear that kind of story. I started working when I was 16 and almost all of my bosses were abusive assholes creating horrifically toxic environments. I got my first decent boss when I was nearly 30 and I’ve stayed with them for around a decade.
