I totally agree, and I’d like to add that Musk's dual role as the head of the DOGE and a major government contractor and political donor presents significant conflicts of interest. As the founder and CEO of companies like Tesla and SpaceX, he has substantial financial interests tied to government contracts and policies. These companies have benefited immensely from federal contracts and subsidies, making him one of the government's largest contractors. Additionally, his status as a prominent political donor, to Trump's campaign, further complicates his role in a government position.

Adding to the complexities are the young employees Musk has hired for DOGE. Among them, individuals like Edward Coristine (19 years old), Marko Elez (25 years old) and Gavin Kliger (25 years old) have raised serious concerns. As you rightly pointed out, they are not even qualified for the job.

Coristine, according to Bloomberg was fired from cybersecurity firm Path Network in 2022 for “leaking internal information to the competitors.” He now has access to the federal government's most sensitive internal data, even though he lacks the necessary confirmed clearance. His online behavior, including promoting racism against various groups, further questions his suitability for such a critical job.

Elez, who was rehired despite making racist remarks online, exemplifies the controversial nature of Musk's hiring decisions. As a DOGE member he has access to Treasury Department systems, has posted racist content on social media. In a series of now-deleted X posts, Elez called for the repeal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, bragged about being racist “before it was cool,” and demanded that hatred of Indian workers within the tech industry be normalized. Elez also expressed disgust at the idea of interracial marriage, suggested that U.S. immigration policy should be based on eugenics, and said that he wouldn’t “mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.”

Kliger, has been reported to have amplified white supremacist and misogynistic content online.

The behavior and competence of these young employees reflect poorly on the department's ability to fulfill its mission effectively. Their actions not only undermine the integrity and trustworthiness of DOGE but also raise questions about Musk's judgment in entrusting them with significant responsibilities.

While I'm not opposed to the idea of the DOGE—in fact, I think it's a long-overdue initiative given the bloated nature of our government—I believe that the current approach is flawed. To ensure the success of DOGE, Trump should appoint competent and qualified individuals, with thorough background checks to verify their suitability for such critical roles.

Everyone in his cabinet have some kind of commercial dealing on the side. This administration is not there to govern, they are there to make them rich, what this administration do is pretty obvious, the reason they come in and fire all these critical worker so they can hire Trump friendly people for the job. Every department they try to take down have some sort of meaning to the people in Trump's circle. It benefit them in some sort of way.

The idea of DOGE is not bad, there should be check and balance for the federal government. But first of all, it should NEVER be a governmental agency (let alone headed by a non-elected official) it's pointless to have the government to check on themselves, either they will do nothing about anything, or do things that suited their need, we have a group here in Australia called Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in every state, but not Federal Level, that is an extra-government bodies to oversea corruption case that report to the Justice Minister in our state. They would not work in a government capacity. Second of all, the people are all wrong, you need a bunch of accounting/commerce people to look at budget, not a bunch of tech wizkid. They won't know shit about how to balance the book. But they will know how the entire governmental computer network work. Why were they there? I don't know, but as a former intelligence specialist, those are the people I would hire if I wanted to dig dirt on someone, so I don't know what DOGE is for, maybe they are there for the greatest data heist in the history of the world??
