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.
Right, because pointing out the hypocrisy in asking other people to change their lives and enter government service so you can benefit from it is “giving up.”
You can’t possibly believe that our choices are to resist a rising fascist theocracy by being a government functionary or else giving up. Don’t be absurd. Talk about being a low-energy, snarky wet blanket. Yeesh.
Your blocking suggestion is a good one though, so I’ll block you and make things easier for both of us. Good luck out there!
