Over the last few weeks, the billionaire and leading tech mogul has been in full speed climb into the political spotlight. He is causing a real mess in the U. S. making many wonder who's in charge.
The DOGE folks have gained access to the Treasury’s entire payment system and threatened to shut down USAID with menacing consequences. They offered all federal employees a so-called "buyout" offer, pushed aside career folks in various agencies they cleared off a significant amount of their teams.
