Ask HN: Who's working on/at DOGE and what do they say about it?

I'm guessing that people in the HN community must know some people who are involved with this Elon Musk DOGE thing.

If you know or know of someone who works in or is involved with DOGE, I'd love to hear about any or all of the following:

1) What do they say about what it's like as an organisation/movement?

2) What's their level of involvement, and what are they doing?

3) How did they become involved?

4) How would you describe them (career experience, personality, interests, values, etc)?

5) Are they getting paid?

6) How many people work at or are involved with DOGE?

I was inspired to ask by the discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42579873
