After The Snap

A group of young tech recruits—dubbed the "DOGE Kids"—have taken over key government operations under the Department of Government Efficiency, a Trump-era agency shaking up everything from the Treasury to Social Security. But who are they, and why are they calling the shots at the SSA? In this episode, we break down the rise, fall, and reinstatement of Marko Elez, the controversial former SpaceX employee who briefly had access to federal tax systems, was fired for racist social media posts, and then rehired after public backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance.Meanwhile, Acting Social Security Commissioner Leland Dudek admits he's caught between the administration’s demands and growing concerns over the agency’s future. With major job cuts, office closures, and new inefficiencies piling up, we’re asking: Is this a takeover or a takedown of Social Security? And what would privatization really mean for everyday Americans?Strap in—this one’s a wild ride.
