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 don’t know if this is a good enough reason to encourage someone to work for the government. It’s a dead end for good people so you need to play the game, be happy with being a drone, or leave.
No movement is going to stop the momentum at this point. This reactor is going to have to spin itself faster until it breaks.
Cool…
So you think that nothing can be fixed so you personally have given up on fixing things.
That is your choice, and I won’t try to talk you out of it.
Can you please show the other side the same decency, and not try to talk them out of doing whatever is possible to fix shit?
If you’re right it doesn’t matter. If you’re wrong, and shit gets fixed…
Well, that works out even better for everyone, including yourself.
If you’re going to disengage, then disengage. Dont hang around trying to talk people into also giving up.
