You can’t make this stuff up.
I read that it was a surprise to her, too. Bet it ruined her vacation.
Who?
Amy Gleason, the new head of DOGE, or less officially the queen of the traitor tots
So Amy Gleason is Elon’s boss?

Maybe think of a new cliche instead of “it’s a feature not a bug”? What next? And what you going to accuse someone of “telling on themselves”?

Ms. Gleason, a career official who worked at the digital service unit during Mr. Trump’s first term, rejoined the agency late last year, according to people familiar with her role and documents reviewed by The New York Times.
During the first Trump administration, the digital agency — which stations tech workers throughout the federal government to assist with modernization efforts — had posted Ms. Gleason with the Health and Human Services Department, where she worked on Covid response, according to documents seen by The Times.
Ms. Gleason has focused on health care reforms, which she said during a TEDx presentation in 2020 was inspired by her frustrations with the medical system after her daughter was diagnosed with a rare illness. After Mr. Trump’s first term, she joined Brad Smith, a health care executive who had worked with Mr. Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner on the Covid response, at an investment firm focused on health companies, taking the role of chief product officer.
Late last year, Mr. Smith began advising Mr. Musk’s cost-cutting efforts and eventually brought Ms. Gleason, who is based in Nashville, into the discussions, according to people familiar with the situation.
On Dec. 30, more than three weeks before Inauguration Day, Ms. Gleason was reintroduced at the digital service office as a “new hire” on an internal Slack channel, according to documents viewed by The Times.
“My previous time at USDS was incredibly meaningful — full of challenges, successes, and unforgettable experiences,” Ms. Gleason wrote as part of a “new hire spotlight” document seen by The Times. “I’m excited to meet new colleagues and dive into impactful projects once again.”
In recent weeks, Ms. Gleason has overseen the transition of the digital service agency into Mr. Musk’s operation. Through executive order, Mr. Trump moved it from the Office of Management and Budget, where it had been housed since its founding, into the White House — a transition that effectively shielded its work from open records laws that could give the public insight into its operations.
During an all-hands meeting with staffers last week, Ms. Gleason told employees that they should adopt a “one team” mentality and work closely with their new counterparts, including dozens of young engineers and lawyers Mr. Musk recruited to help him overhaul the federal bureaucracy.
But the takeover of the office has not gone smoothly. On Tuesday, 21 employees at U.S.D.S. announced their resignations, protesting the incursion on the federal government by Mr. Musk and his allies.
“We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services,” the group wrote in its letter. “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.”

I think she was the head of the US Digital Service which is the actual federal agency that Elon has decreed is now DOGE.
A lot of US digital service quit rather than be involved with the nasty business of DOGE. The fact that she stayed and didn’t come back from her Mexican vacation when named head of DOGE says a lot about how hands on she will be.

Baris Akis
Recruiter
Mr. Akis, who was born in Turkey and is not a U.S. citizen, is not involved with DOGE officially. But he played a sizable role during the transition, using his skills as a headhunter to recruit engineering talent.
SpaceX was prosecuted by DOJ for refusing to hire non-citizens, specifically parolees applying for asylum.
