Musk Threatens to Fire Federal Employees Who Leak Information During DOGE Purge

The billionaire responded to a Reddit post claiming his minions are using a specific tactic to identify leakers.

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.

    and congress should be taking action right now. Instead we are sitting on our thumbs watching from the side lines.

    You can blame the “victory fund” bankrupting state parties and Dems losing ground in down ballot races over and over again so that the presidential campaign could have a dinner with Clooney.

    Hopefully Ken Martin puts an end to that griff
