- DOGE staff died through the government, helping to reduce staff and interrupt payments.
- Bi has identified a Doge Worker now at NASA which had its Google calendar to be visible to the public.
- He showed job interviews, including with DOGE, and revealed the names of other DOGE staff.
A member of DOGE staff now walks in NASA rooms has maintained a Google calendar accessible to the public – revealing its links with the Trump administration initiative, the names of colleagues from the Doge staff and interviews planned in companies such as Tesla, Palant and Andundil.
Riley Sennott, 26, is listed as a “main advisor” in an internal NASA repertoire, similar to the nebulous titles given to Doge staff in other agencies. His name and involvement with Doge have not been reported before.
Like many other DOGE workers, he has deleted his LinkedIn profile and has rendered his X private account in recent months. However, Sennott did not make the Google calendar linked to its private personal email address.
Anyone with the address could see each meeting that Sennott had on the calendar to return in 2016.
On January 6, for example, the calendar included a 15 -minute event entitled “Riley Sennott and Doge Recruiting”. The invitation came from a Gmail address that Doge seemed to use for recruitment.
While DOGE has announced open positions for engineering and HR, among other departments, its hiring process was relatively opaque; The Sennott calendar highlights how and when the group interviewed the candidates.
Later this month, on January 17, Sennott was to attend a 30-minute meeting entitled “SGE ethics discussion”. SGE is an acronym used for “a special government employee”, a title that has been used to describe Elon Musk. This invitation included two people with the E-mail addresses of the General Services Administration and other Dogey employees reported, including Derek Geissler and Brooks Morgan.
The invitation also included the personal email of another previously undeclared name: Conor Fennessy. A federal employee told Bi that someone had a GSA email address; Fennessy did not respond to a request for comments.
On February 19, Sennott had an interview scheduled with a person with a government email address listed on LinkedIn as a special agent at the Defense counter-espionage security agency. The DCSA performs history checks on many executive branches.
The NASA repertoire indicates that Sennott works in the director’s suite at the head office, and an image shared with Bi shows that his name is followed by the letters “GSA”, an apparent reference to the General Services Administration.
Sennott did not respond to an email or an SMS on this story. In the hour following the BI hold, the Sennott calendar was no longer public.
He seems to have links with Tesla. Its Google calendar has shown several meetings planned with Tesla employees, one of which was referring to “a role based on projects” and an X private account under its name has its biography as “Energy @tesla”. Several archived positions refer to Tesla, including a position in December, praising the computer office of the company’s manufacturing installation of the company.
Bi could not verify if Sennott was an employee of the Musk electric vehicle company. Tesla did not respond to a request for comments on the connection of Sennott to the company.
In 2022, Sennott worked in Crypto; The archived versions of his LinkedIn and X profiles refer to him working at Syndica, a startup that creates software for blockchain developers, and his calendar showed interviews with people from the company in November 2021. Its calendar also showed meetings planned with other large technological companies during an apparent job search for several months in 2024.
Last March, his calendar noted a zoom call provided about a “risk role” with Founders Fund, one of the first investors of SpaceX. In May, the calendar showed a “recruiter call” with Palantir, the data company co-founded by the ally Elon Musk and the Conservative King-Fabricant Peter Thiel. An entry in April was entitled “Andundil Opportunity Chat”. Andundil is a defense technology company founded by Palmer Luckey.
Last week, its calendar showed meetings with two partners from the venture capital company Thrive Capital.
A appointment to the 2023 calendar noted that Sennott “is currently working with a non -profit team in Ukraine to effectively provide aid and support evacuations”. The presentation text said Sennott studied symbolic systems and environmental studies in college, “briefly cut in the council” and has a “business spirit”. His calendar also showed several events related to an internship in Booz Allen Hamilton in 2021.
Sennott’s specific role in NASA remains uncertain, but agency employees received an email last month on Doge’s staff.
“The Ministry of Government (DOGE) has arrived at the agency. We plan to start examining our contracts to find efficiency gains,” said the e-mail, according to a copy examined by BI.
The representatives of Doge and NASA did not respond to a request for comments from Business Insider.
