Summary
Elon Musk warned federal employees against leaking information, stating, “if in doubt, they are out,” as he helps Trump implement sweeping government changes.
A Reddit post alleged Musk’s team is using “fingerprinting” tactics to track leakers. Musk, who spent heavily on Trump’s re-election, now leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has controversially seized control of federal payment and personnel systems.
The administration is also encouraging civil servants to resign, prompting lawsuits.
Whistleblower protections may challenge Musk’s crackdown on leaks.
I was not aware of it being a temporary organization. But it was created by executive order, which likely grants musk power to fire.
Oh, no. Executive orders, at least according to “the rules”, do not supercede the law. This is all blatantly illegal in many ways.
Fat lot of good that does, though, considering the other two branches are run by corrupt yes men.
Also, I don’t think there’s anything saying it’s temporary…?
It was, but it cannot surrept congress’ constitutional authority in holding the governments coin purse. But, then again, if nobody does anything, I guess all bets are off at this point.
