NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

Hey, Americans, those of us in Europe are watching -- & you're blowing it. This is a legitimate emergency. If Trump & Musk get away w/this takeover, w/no mass demonstrations or blockades or actions, there's absolutely no reason for the Republicans to not just declare the 2026 elections suspended.
Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration.
Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

One of my favorite David Lynch quotes comes from when he was talking about his 1999 film The Straight Story, a PG-rated tale of a man going to see his brother, and seemingly a departure from his previous dark, violent, terrifically unsettling films: "Tenderness can be just as abstract as insanity."
