Sen. Tina Smith Rips Elon Musk

 

BY C STONE | STONE NEWS NETWORK ||| WASHINGTON

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith called out Elon Musk's "Requirement" that all federal workers send an e-mail to defend their jobs or get fired. “This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.” She didn't hold back on X last night.

 “I bet a lot of people have had an experience like this with a bad boss - there’s an email in your inbox on Saturday night saying, ‘Prove to me your worthiness by Monday or else.’ I’m on the side of the workers, not the billionaire asshole bosses.”

Musk trolled Smith, replying with "It's a trivial week. A very basic pulse check."

Apparently, if you're employed by the U.S. Federal Government and you don't reply, you'll be fired. This sounds a bit unconstitutional and breaking many employment laws.

It could also be called coercion, if you don't know what that means it's called bullying.

Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will by using threats or force. It can involve using intimidation or the threat of reprisal to compel someone to act.

We doubt Elon Musk has to account for every minute of his day while at work. Who fact checks his itinerary or work notes?

Where is the oversight to prevent DOGE from being utterly and completely corrupted?

Who knows.

Smith wasn't the only person who criticized his blunt force solution to government "waste". 

From huffpost.com:

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) also called out Musk in a post, saying in a video from the Senate floor on Thursday that Musk “does not know what he’s talking about” when it comes to government spending.

“Spending isn’t a ‘conspiracy’ just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov,” Murray wrote Saturday on X. “A program isn’t waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn’t fraud because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.”
