Imagine the fear of becoming the personal target of the world’s richest man and his followers. That’s how federal government employees are feeling after Elon Musk publicized his name.
As co-chairman of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has suggested mass firings because he is publicly identifying “fake jobs” at X and related federal employees.
Last week, Elon Musk reposted the names and titles of employees holding climate-related government positions on X. The posts were created by an account with the handle Fantasyl and the name “Datahazard”. They have received a lot of negative attention, with one woman even deleting her social media accounts.
According to CNN, current federal employees are concerned about being personally targeted.
Everett Kelly, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said, “The purpose of these tactics is to instill panic and fear in federal employees. The purpose of this is to so intimidate them that they will be afraid to speak out.”
But this is Musk’s habitual way of operating where he alienates individuals who come in his way.
Mary “Missy” Cummings said, “This is a way to intimidate people into either quitting or sending a signal to all other agencies that ‘you’re next’.” Security Administration.
Cummings said she received death threats and several assaults and had to temporarily relocate before changing homes. “His intention was that they, people like that, would be intimidated and would go ahead and leave so that he wouldn’t have to fire them. So his plan, to some extent, is working,” she said.
