Lambert here: I can’t help but wonder if the British venue doesn’t understand the American idiom “roach.” Nevertheless.

Elon Musk’s Doge team reportedly left [the US Institute of Peace] littered with beer bottles, drugs and cockroaches.

When employees returned last month, they reportedly found the office full of cockroaches and rodents, with leftover marijuana and empty beer bottles strewn about.

Colin O’Brien, USIP’s head of security, cited witnesses who said Doge workers were “smoking weed in the building”, according to Politico.

The Economist reported earlier this month that cleaners at Usip’s Washington headquarters had found marijuana that had seemingly been thrown out by Mr Musk’s team.

Mr O’Brien said hundreds of laptops, which had previously been turned over to Doge staffers, were found stacked haphazardly on top of each other, while chargers were found in bins.

Lambert here: Well done on the security aspect!

“It was neglect,” he said. “These folks don’t know how to run a large, multi-building commercial office complex.”
