Summary
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.
Hey, for all you know I served in the military under GW, and this isn’t even going to be my first 4 years as a federal employee under trump…
You do realize there’s a shit ton of people who would fit that…
Right?
And that someone who’s lived that life, would often be highly opinionated about politics and tend to often have insights into how shit works? That they would have been a little stressed about this election and spent the run up trying desperately to convince people to take the path most likely to get a Dem in office at every step of the process?
Like, this is the Internet, I could also just be a dog or an edgy teenager sitting in study hall…
But what’s the point in you trying to dissuade good people from entering federal service in either case?
Right on bud…
Have fun spending your time online convincing people not to fight fascism then I guess.
Have fun telling people to do the hard work you won’t do but want to benefit from.
