Elon Musk is facing criticism for targeting Ashley Thomas, a federal climate official, by reposting a right-wing troll’s comment labeling her job as a “fake job.”
Musk’s actions, reminiscent of his past harassment of ex-Twitter employee Yoel Roth, prompted concerns about the safety of federal employees.
This comes as Musk prepares to co-lead Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, aiming to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget, potentially outsourcing roles to private companies.
Critics argue Musk’s tactics intimidate public servants while benefiting billionaire-owned businesses.
“Starve the beast” it’s a thing. They weren’t joking.
Cut taxes and force government to shrink and lose power.
