🔥 Elon Musk’s Playbook for DOGE Has a Precedent: X

Mr. Musk is wielding his X account to single out federal employees and agencies for cuts. He has used this method before.

Since President-elect Donald J. Trump last month named Elon Musk to help lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, the tech billionaire has turned to X to trumpet his plans.

Mr. Musk, who owns the platform, has singled out at least four federal employees focused on climate issues — including the niece of Representative Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California — who he suggested ought to lose their jobs. “Maybe her advice is amazing,” Mr. Musk joked of Alexis Pelosi, a senior climate adviser at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Musk, X and Alexis Pelosi did not respond to requests for comment.

He has also criticized the Securities and Exchange Commission, which has fined him millions of dollars. And on Sunday, he wrote, “The government is more broken than you could possibly imagine.”

The posts are part of Mr. Musk’s plans to reduce the federal budget by $2 trillion, or 30 percent. To do so, he has proposed a return-to-office mandate for government workers, suggesting that it would lead to mass resignations. He has suggested cutting entire agencies. And he has called for firing agency leaders like the Federal Trade Commission’s outgoing chair, Lina Khan, who led an investigation into privacy practices at X after Mr. Musk’s takeover.
