## Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers

Authored by cnn.com

When President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line.

Several current federal employees told CNN they’re afraid their lives will be forever changed – including physically threatened – as Musk makes behind-the-scenes bureaucrats into personal targets.

“These tactics are aimed at sowing terror and fear at federal employees,” said Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 800,000 of the 2.3 million civilian federal employees.

This isn’t new behavior for Musk, who has often singled out individuals who he claims have made mistakes or stand in his way.

One former federal employee, previously targeted by Musk, said she experienced something very similar.

Musk, who called himself “super pro climate” in an X post last year, reposted and commented: “So many fake jobs.”

CNN reached out to all four federal employees who either declined comment or were unable to be reached. »
