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.
Well if what they are doing is not hitting ANY news outlets (even informal ones or their own sites) I sincerely doubt they are doing anything worthwhile (unless it happens to be some covert operation)
The other issue is that they really have little recourse when all branches of government AND the courts were handed over to the Orange Turd on a silver platter… what are they actually going to do?
The ONLY proper recourse left here is a general strike and I see Redditors helping on that front more than Unions
That’s a hypothetical…
