As Musk's DOGE bulldozes through federal agencies demanding sensitive data access, a Microsoft engineer working on federal contracts registered a private company using DOGE's name.
Well he’s going to get sued right? Maybe that’s the point? Perhaps it’s a very interesting way to prove that DOGE isn’t a government entity and is therefore illegal.
If you mean the scenario where Trevor Nestor just registered this LLC without approval from DOGE, it would open him up to investigation or prosecution under the False Claims Act and 18 U.S. Code § 709 – False Representation of Government Agencies.
And of course, it would also invite a massive lawsuit from Musk lawyers as he wouldn't want anyone else falsely using the DOGE name.
But Nestor is a fan of Jordan Peterson, espouses men's rights activist views on women, and in general seems in ideological alignment with Musk. So I really doubt he would be doing this to "troll."
Which leans us a little more to Scenario 2, this LLC could have been authorized by DOGE officials, which opens up an even bigger can of worms re: federal laws and regulations in place designed to prevent waste, fraud and abuse. Sound familiar?
Note: Special Government Employees, which is what Musk and many DOGE staffers are, are still subject to these same laws and regs prohibiting self-dealing, using insider information for financial gain, etc.
I am not a Jordan peterson fan these days, but you have to understand why when everybody claims socioeconomic precarity in this country is a "mental problem" young men need to solve on their own they can gravitate towards demagogue grifter psychologists
Interesting. There have been a few DOGE memecoins popping up. There's probably something there but my publishing schedule is pretty full atm. Ugh I hate this timeline.
DOGE is not a legal government department. It was not created through congress/senate there is not an actual government department. Let’s not normalize it and forget that is is not REAL!
NBC reported yesterday that some of our key allies (Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia) are discussing scaling back (discontinuing?) the sharing of intelligence and surveillance information with the United States. For years, conflict after conflict, these nations have routinely shared intelligence information about our enemies (Terrorist nations, Iran, Yemen, Russia, and other Baltic States). This information has been vital, helping us to counter threats and attacks on our nation. Why on earth are our allies exploring this option?! Is it retaliatory? Maybe, after all, the Trump Administration has pushed away the NATO Alliance and has implemented tariffs on most of these nations.
Foreign Policy Analysts are concluding that Trump’s foreign policy is becoming a security risk to our allies. I agree; Trump’s pivoting and realignment with Russia is causing them to re-think what the risks are with sharing intelligence information with the US. For example, compromised intelligence information can affect the protection of a nation’s critical assets such as advanced weapons, research, and agents’ identities. This all suggests that we are starting to lose the long and hard-gained trust and confidence of our key allies. Is the US becoming so cozy with Russia that they fear their critical intelligence information will be shared with Putin?!
My father was a decorated veteran who fought in the Second World War. In his valor, he fought against the forces of authoritarianism and fascism. His spirit and voice still live in me. The reputation, integrity, and respect of the US is diminishing; tangible damage is being done. At what point will Americans become concerned with what is transpiring? Will we let the US become a pariah and isolationist nation who cozies up to brutal dictators?
I suggest we of Substack add another narrative into the minds of our fellow Americans. A narrative about the diminishing trust and prominence of our country on the world stage. Let’s continue to shed light on why we believe Donald Trump is a profound threat to our democracy.

These people are trying to send me to doggy jail trying to claim I've gotten orders from the Trump administration or otherwise should be sued for impersonating DOGE
DOGE is already engaging in fraud. Musk has an incredible conflict of interest and us doing all he can to direct contracts to his companies
It wasn't even fully created
I dissolved this as quickly as it was created

Big shocker I know
Oh. Copy that. I hadn’t the foggiest who this guy is. Thanks for the heads up.
So I have to either side with DOGE or be prosecuted by DOGE and others
You guys really make things really difficult on purpose don't you
Or maybe you created the scenario where you made it hard on yourself.
Right because the assumptions made by the author had nothing to do with it
Then help me understand.
I mean might be entertaining lawsuit lol
I like the way you think madam
But i would like to request to not be sent to the doggy gulag please

This whole thing was a mistake that is being reversed with legalzoom
This needs to be brought to the attention of the AG of Washington State and to Microsoft CEO Nadella. This is fraud.
Bro this wasn't even DOGE It was DOGELON
DOGE is not a legal government department. It was not created through congress/senate there is not an actual government department. Let’s not normalize it and forget that is is not REAL!
Bingo
What agency is going to arrest and charge them when they have all been infiltrated and compromised?
Bingo
DOGE as a Fed department is not real. Depts are established by Congress only. Therefore he has not broken the law.
By this logic neither is the Federal Reserve or the IRS
Bingo bingo bingo
WTF

You are apparently up to mischief. Stop messaging me.
Yeah I was trying that and you guys are trying to get me double doggy doxxed
Trevor, I am not following what your concern is?
These people are trying to send me to doggy jail trying to claim I've gotten orders from the Trump administration or otherwise should be sued for impersonating DOGE
These people are obviously not well intentioned
Sorry I can’t help you…
What are 3 things you tried
They made themselves an LLC?
Wow, they are stealing our data and are going to make money off selling and leaking it. Also to use for AI training to get rid of all of our jobs….
I didn't even steal anybody's data lol
Yea right buddy, data scientists know….
Thank you!!!
Can you do the same in our national forests?
Where Trump is chopping our forests up?
Another douchebag!
Did you get clear answers to these questions?
We should let them know.
