Over the course of a six hour long or so deposition, Justin Fox, a former investment banker turned DOGE bro, refused to define what he believes counts as DEI; admitted he used ChatGPT to scan government contracts for terms such as “Black” and “homosexual” but not “white” or “caucasian;” and said that one of the grants he helped slash was “not for the benefit of humankind” before walking that claim back.
I watched all of Fox’s deposition from start to finish. The terse exchanges, the circular arguments, the pregnant pauses, all of it. The videos, available publicly on YouTube, were released as part of a lawsuit by the Modern Language Association, American Council of Learned Societies, and American Historical Association. They provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE. Even with Fox’s inability to answer seemingly easy questions, the responses are still illustrative of the recklessness and hamfisted nature of a group of young, inexperienced people who caused massive damage across the U.S. government, leading to negative consequences outside of it. DOGE as an organization has been linked to 300,000 deaths due to its cuts and multiple significant data breaches. All the while, DOGE did not actually reduce the government’s deficit.
Before joining DOGE, Fox was an associate at the Los Angeles-based private equity firm Nexus Capital. Now he is a co-founder of a company called Special, with Nate Cavanaugh, another DOGE member. Fox says the company is “buying businesses in senior care, adopting technology to pay the nurses and caregivers more, so that the aging population has enough nurses to meet the demand.” Before joining DOGE, he had no experience in government nor public grant administration, he says in the deposition.
Man admits to racism among other things and thinks he’s in the right.
Also, not to be “Basing off of appearances’ here, but he has the kind of face you put on a dart board or punching bag for extra motivation.

I think I can translate that. It’s a venture capital enterprise that aims to use AI to replace some elder care workers so they can pay the remaining workers -slightly- more while drastically increasing their workload.

He looks exactly like I would expect a DOGE bro to look; like a complete lame-ass loser.

DOGE seems like it was a perfect illustration of the difference between intelligence and wisdom.

This is the “meritocracy”. Replacing DEI with the good ol’ boys network and cronyism. Oh your dad plays at my dad’s golf club? I have a job for you.

I’m out of the loop on this, why are they providing testimony? Are they being sued?

One would think that the legacy media would start looking to writers like Joseph Cox, Marisa Kabas, and other for inspiration on how to do ACTUAL investigative journalism. If Mike Wallace were still alive, he would call out this bullshit.

We knew the heritage foundation was going to asked trump to destroy social security and musk was all willing to steal all that data while while boys did all the damage they could. You don’t need testimony to know this.

DOGE was the IT security equivalent of Pol Pot handing out machine guns to little village children and telling them to round up all their former teachers, during the Cambodian genocide.

Mediocre yt boys and girls are deeply invested in preserving their unearned privileges. It’s why they voted for Trump, their mediocre king.

Does anyone remember when the Fox Propaganda Industrial Complex had the right wing up in arms because Obama’s IRS used keyword searches with “patriot” and “freedom” and the like to review political organizations abusing their 501 c3 charitable tax exemptions?! They screamed bloody murder! And that was only about paying taxes, not defunding and shutting them down! Fuck that DOGE dick and every one of those lying hypocritical MAGAts and the billionaires they rode in on!
