Elon Musk publicized the names of U.S. government employees he wants to cut. It's terrifying federal workers
When president-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line.

Screw them and hold on to your job for as long and as hard as you can.
Sure one person fighting is nothing to a billionaire .... but a few thousand employees taking the government to court for this stupidity will definitely affect the billionaire.
Authoritarianism wins as soon as we all just give up and allow them to take control.
Over half of federal workers are unionized so if Elmo fucks around too much, he just may find out. Many government workers are getting below market rates in exchange for good benefits, security and some sense of helping the commonwealth. They did not sign up for dealing with this chucklefuck. Replacing a bunch of sysadmins, accountants, lawyers and scientists at government pay levels would be challenging.
Thats the trick… They don’t intend to replace them. This is a thinly disguised austerity measure, intended to cripple agencies to later “show” their ineffectiveness.
Its called Starve the Beast
Make them bad by fucking them up, then privatize it giving your buddies the $$$
It's entirely possible that the richest man in the world can fuck around and still not find out.
Dude took a 30Bn hit on twitter and is still the richest man in the world, I think it's probable he won't find out.
I don't think that he took a hit on Twitter at all. He deliberately destroyed it to kill a very effective voice of independent news and commentary. 30 billion was chump change for that. Look at Twitter now, it's a hot mess of garbage. Mission accomplished and he's still getting three squares a day and shooting bullshit and spy satellites into space.

Laws don't apply to God King Trump, why would they apply to anyone in his administration?
The government is going to round them up soon enough.
