A mysterious tech expert who claimed that over $100 billion in taxpayer money is being stolen or wasted has revealed her identity after being doxxed. The woman, who previously went by the online alias “DataRepublican”, has been a vocal critic of government inefficiency and has drawn the attention of Elon Musk, who has repeatedly engaged with her posts.
In a dramatic post on Twitter, she announced, “I have been doxxed. Rather than let others control the narrative, I am addressing this directly.”
Her real name? Jennica Pounds.
The woman behind ‘DataRepublican’
Pounds, a Deaf and nonverbal tech expert, revealed that she recently resigned from her job to dedicate herself full-time to government efficiency efforts linked to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—a program launched last month under Donald Trump’s administration, with Elon Musk as its head.

The revelation, she says, changed the course of her life.
“I gave up everything for this—my safety, my career—because I believe in what I am doing,” she wrote.
