Summary

Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old DOGE goon, allegedly screamed at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) employees during a 36-hour shift to expedite layoffs of 90% of staff.

A court paused the firings, citing violations of an earlier order requiring individual assessments before terminations. Kliger told staffers to ignore the court-ordered individual-by-individual assessment requirement.

Kliger is a 25-year-old “internet edgelord” who claims to have ditched seven figures in Silicon Valley to work at DOGE. He is a 2020 Berkeley graduate and “has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online,” Reuters reported.

Kliger has already overseen 1,500–1,700 layoffs. Only three senior staff remain, raising concerns about CFPB’s ability to fulfill legal duties.

      Poor guy bounced off, rolled down six flights of stairs (“But it’s only a 3-story building!”) and landed in a running woodchipper.

        Weird thing is that the woodchipper mulch went straight into the ground and got cemented over. If only we had known
