Musk, Trump degrade federal workers as they put them out of work. It's sadistic. [View all]

Musk’s boy-who-wishes-someone-loved-him childishness is part and parcel of the vicious 'own the liberals' mindset driving President Donald Trump and seemingly all around him.

I’d guess most Americans, over the course of their lives, have either known someone who was laid off from a job or experienced a layoff firsthand. It’s not pleasant. There’s nothing funny about it.

So right now, I ask you to imagine you’re a U.S. government employee whose career is being ended by unelected billionaire Elon Musk, the de facto president of the United States currently demolishing the federal government, probably illegally.

Imagine you’re a scientist whose life’s work is being halted with no explanation or consideration. Imagine you’ve devoted years of your life working for the U.S. Agency for International Development, helping poor people in another country ‒ and now you’ve suddenly been axed and uprooted.

I ask you to imagine these things and then imagine looking at the social media profile of the guy canning all these American workers and seeing he ‒ President Musk himself ‒ briefly changed his name on X to “Harry Bōlz” and added the description: “Circumcisions at a discount, now 50% off!”
