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.

      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

      It could also be straight-up omitted, such as with “United States of America” being U.S.A.
