   Federal technology staffers resign rather than help Musk and DOGE   
      
   Twenty-one civil service employees have resigned from Trump adviser Elon Musk's   
   Department of Government Efficiency, saying they're refusing to use their    
   technical expertise to "dismantle critical public services."   
      
   "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."   
      
   The employees also warned that many of those enlisted by Musk to help him slash   
      
   the size of the federal government under President Donald Trump's   
   administration were political ideologues who did not have the necessary skills    
   or experience for the task ahead of them.

   That last paragraph is apparent in several statements that Musk and others   
   have made.
