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.
It also bugs me how the O is stylized as a capital. In acronyms, isn’t it proper to make it lowercase if it’s a filler word like “of”?
And should he know this as an elite PoE (path of exile) player?
Don’t you know why he did this in the first place?

Depends, AOA is angle of attack. I’m sure there are more examples if I sit and think. The lowercase ‘o’ strikes me as more of a tech/internet thing, not traditional.
No I’m pretty sure lower case was always the case.
No, they just normally leave them out or capitalize. It really isn’t common outside of computer-related stuff as far as I can think. I would be happy to be proven wrong if you have some examples.
Got a few more where ‘of’ gets a capital letter for you to ponder on.
TOEFL - Test of English as a Foreign Language
DOE - Department of Energy
Also other departments, DOD, DOJ, etc.
OOO -Out of office
MOA - Minute of Angle
I’ve always seen OoO for out of office. 🤷🏻
3 pages in, and haven’t seen that, but okay.

It could also be straight-up omitted, such as with “United States of America” being U.S.A.
Ya this is also a good point.
