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.

    I’d say he’s just finishing his transition to being a full on comic book style supervillain, but honestly Lex Luthor would have more class than this

        Lately he seems more like Bizzaro to me. He has more power than anyone but he comes across as a dumb meathead now who thinks doing bad things is good so he wants to beat up all the heroes

              In the future Professor Chaos is a cryptobro, so this all makes sense.

          The hard part is that he speaks better than most of the dumbasses. So he’s the smart dumbass.

              Of course! I’m not his target audience.
