"This week, Musk took aim at Ashley Thomas, the director of climate diversification for the U.S. International Finance Corporation"a highly technical role that involves developing ways of securing agriculture and infrastructure against extreme weather, one agency official told The Wall Street Journal.

After a right-wing troll account posted on X drawing attention to Thomas's position, Musk reposted it, noting that there were "So many fake jobs." Ironic, coming from a CEO.

Speaking of fake jobs, last week, Donald Trump announced that Musk would be co-heading the Department of Government Efficiency, an advisory board set on slashing the government budget by a trillion dollars, hoping to cut personnel and essential government services ... so they can be snatched up by government contractors or outsourced to private companies ... owned by billionaires ... like Musk.

Musk's decision to sic his millions of X followers on a specific individual, whose only crime seems to be having a job that Musk in all his infinite tech bro wisdom doesn't understand, isn't just cruel, it's dangerous.

In 2022, Musk targeted Yoel Roth, who was Twitter's head of trust and safety, suggesting that Roth was endangering children, leading to his hordes of haters accusing Roth of being a pedophile and calling for his death.

Roth was chased out of the company after Musk's acquisition and had to relocate as a result of the billionaire's cyber campaign.

Musk's mob mayhem is also a sign of what's to come.

Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, told the Journal that Musk's tactics are "aimed at sowing terror and fear at federal employees. It's intended to make them fearful that they will become afraid to speak up."

Kelley also pointed out that federal employees are a hell of a lot cheaper than government contractors."

Trump foxes in the Gov henhouse.

Get used to it... Make America Grift Again!

Musk never disappoints; his cruelty and hatred for people who work for a living is detestable.

"Musk took aim at Ashley Thomas, the director of climate diversification for the U.S. International Finance Corporation"a highly technical role that involves developing ways of securing agriculture and infrastructure against extreme weather, one agency official told The Wall Street Journal."

Call me a liberal but that does not, in any way, sound like a "fake job." It actually sounds like a complicated and also very important task. OMG! we have a person trying to figure out how to preserve agriculture and infrastructure during extreme weather? Who nees agriculture? Who needs infrastructure? Elon Musk needs to get over his love affair with himself!

And now if anybody was still wondering if CEO was a job, this should make it clear to all of you that it is not.

They do NO work. The position exists only as a grift.

@#3 ... refuse to delete their X accounts ...

For the record...

I have never had a Twitter account.

I have never had an X account.

@#10 ... That's why you and your assorted aliases are the DRMVP! ...

While I may appreciate that accolade (but I have only this one alias on this most august site, LampLighter, that's my alias[1]), what concerns me more is the reasoning behind the accolade.

Why do you say that just because I said i did not ever have a Twitter/X account?


thx.
