Elon Musk, among many other things, is now co-head of currently non-existent Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Advisory Group. Now, even before it begins, he has started identifying individual government employees who according to him bring the government into disrepute and has started posting about them to his millions of followers on Instagram.
Earlier this week, as before reported by wall street journalX user “datahazard” shared a screenshot on Want” that role. musk reposted thisAdding the comment “So many fake jobs” in the post, which has been viewed more than 33 million times.
In form of WSJ Notes, Musk's followers have responded exactly the way you'd expect: with a flood of memes and harassment targeting Thomas, whose LinkedIn and Facebook pages are now private. Everett Kelly, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said WSJ The purpose of the post is to “instill panic and fear among federal employees.”
Flooding targets with harassment is a tactic Musk has used in the past, including calling caver Vernon Unsworth “Pedo boy,” Criticism A former Twitter executive Following their offer to buy the company, and I am suggesting this Head of Trust and Security Joel Roth was sympathetic to pedophilia. Of course, all this under the guise of “free speech.”
Of course, the ensuing harassment is exactly the point: Musk has systematically turned X into a megaphone for his ideas and has used that megaphone to whatever ends he finds funny or useful. Musk and DOGE co-head Vivek Ramaswamy have promised to do most of their work publicly (and occasionally by ex-poll), which means this kind of attention is likely to go to many other civil servants in the near future. There is a possibility.
