Elon Musk's Public Posts Trigger Fear Among Federal Employees
Exposure on X Leads to Intimidation and Threats
Elon Musk has been publicly identifying federal employees on X, leading to a climate of fear among government workers.
Musk, serving as the co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency, has called for mass firings by labeling certain climate-related positions as 'fake jobs'.
He reposted names and titles of these government employees using the handle 'Fentasyl' and the name 'Datahazard', resulting in significant negative attention and threats, as reported by CNN.
Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, criticized these tactics as spreading terror among workers.
Mary 'Missy' Cummings, a former official at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, recounted receiving death threats after being targeted by Musk.
Musk’s posts, such as questioning taxpayer funding for climate-related roles, have sparked backlash and fears of job insecurity among federal employees.
Vivek Ramaswamy acknowledged issues in bureaucracy but did not comment on Musk's specific actions.
