Others, like Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has said outright, echoing Musk’s sentiment: “Federal employees do not deserve their jobs“ — which will likely be played on loop by someone should Greene decide to run for Senate in a state with plenty of federal workers.
Even Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s hand-selected FBI director, told employees at the bureau to ignore Musk’s threatening email.
Elon Musk may have gotten ahead of his skis when he sent a blanket email to federal employees warning they had to detail their work or risk being fired.
Some, like then-vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, made fun of Musk during the 2024 campaign for “skipping like a dips***“ at a Trump campaign event.
Of course some lawmakers are big fans of Musk’s tactics, such as Senator Rick Scott of Florida, a member of the DOGE caucus and a major supporter of Trump.
