			<description>&lt;p&gt;I asked #Grok, X&amp;#39;s beta AI platform, to list the #DOGE staff and their professional experience. Result: Here is a list of some employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) along with details of their professional experience based on available information:&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Akash Bobba: Engineer, aged 19-24, with little to no experience in government. Edward Coristine: Engineer, aged 19-24, with little to no experience in government. Past activities raise security clearance issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Luke Farritor: Engineer, aged 19-24, with little to no experience in government. Notably, he used AI to decode Greek passages from an ancient scroll, which earned his team a significant prize. He was also part of the 2024 Thiel Fellowship class.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Marko Elez: Engineer, aged 19-24, with little to no experience in government. He resigned after his social media posts supporting racism and eugenics were reported. Gautier Cole Killian: Engineer, aged 19-24, with little to no experience in government. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Gavin Kliger: Engineer, aged 25, with little to no experience in government. Previously reposted a social media post mocking interracial families. Ethan Shaotran: Engineer, aged 19-24, with little to no experience in government.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Additional employees with more detailed professional backgrounds include: Nikhil &amp;quot;Nik&amp;quot; Rajpal: Added to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau&amp;#39;s employee directory and also granted access to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Jehn Balajadia: Previously Musk&amp;#39;s assistant, now works at the Department of Education. Joshua Gruenbaum: Appointed as FAS Commissioner by the U.S. General Services Administration.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Russell McGranahan: Appointed as General Counsel by the U.S. General Services Administration. Michael Peters: Appointed as PBS Commissioner by the U.S. General Services Administration.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Shedd: Appointed as FAS Deputy Commissioner by the U.S. General Services Administration. Jacob Altik: Lawyer, clerked for Neil Gorsuch.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;James Burnham: Lawyer, clerked for Neil Gorsuch. Keenan Kmiec: Lawyer, clerked for Samuel Alito on a federal circuit court and John Roberts on the Supreme Court.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Brad Smith: Previously worked in the first Trump administration. Amy Gleason: Previously worked for the original Digital Service. Chris Young: Republican political advisor.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;These individuals have a mix of government and private sector experience, with some having significant roles in law or previous governmental positions.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt; However, many of the younger engineers appear to have been appointed with minimal government experience, focusing instead on their technical skills.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
