“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

Resigning isn't courageous.

It takes a long time to fire a long term fed, but if you resign a bootlicker takes your desk tomorrow and does what you wouldn't.

A real, courageous, patriot would stop Musk.

engineers, data scientists and product managers

Those are not positions that take drop-in replacements, no matter how smart they are.

If you're trying to run it competently, sure.

Do you think that's what they want?

You think that's what Elmo and Trump have as a goal for the federal government?

Didn't say anything about doing it well, just that the replacements face a hella learning curve and will fail.

On the other hand, if/when a saner administration comes in, these are the people you would hire for senior positions due to integrity.
