  • WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing works
  • and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

The article from WIRED discusses how federal auditors, specifically the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Transportation, have been using memes, including the popular "Doge" meme featuring Elon Musk, to engage with the public on social media. This unconventional approach aims to make government communication more relatable and accessible, especially to younger audiences. The OIG's social media strategy includes posting memes to highlight their work, like audits and investigations, in a humorous and engaging way. This tactic has sparked a mix of reactions, with some appreciating the attempt to modernize government outreach, while others question the professionalism and appropriateness of such content from a federal agency. The article also touches on the broader implications of this strategy, suggesting it might help in demystifying government operations and making them appear less distant or bureaucratic.
