Probublica did a piece on something similar, they just used llm’s to flag words that they considered woke, and in the process cancelled a bunch of grants that had nothing at all to do with what they were targeting. They couldn’t be bothered to actually check the work of the llm.

The point was to break things in general while claiming they had specific targeted goals so they could continue the 'government doesn't work' narrative for future budget cuts. Playing the part of a bull in a china shop was the intent and they have already done the damage.

Quite so. Although the real point was to secretly copy all government agency data to Thiel's secret data banks, and whomever else. Musk was just the front man (clown,) thiel is the brains, and yarvin and their pals.

All those doge kids were likely recruited from their drug and sex fueled parties, and groomed for betraying america.
