Billionaire Elon Musk is using his Twitter account to troll critics and federal workers, while simultaneously pushing his crypto dogecoin (DOGE) agenda in the US government. In a 24-hour period, he posted nearly 200 times, targeting various agencies and mocking those who oppose him.
Musk has been live-tweeting his Department of Government Efficiency efforts, posting about which agencies to target next and mocking detractors, including members of Congress. The billionaire appears unfazed by criticism, instead using laughing emojis and memes to respond to lawmakers’ attempts to hold him accountable.
Employees at US agencies such as USAID have been impacted by DOGE’s spending cuts and deleted diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Musk has even used his platform to poll his 216 million followers about auditing the IRS, with options “Yes,” “F Yes,” and “No.”
Musk’s social media posturing includes describing himself as “White House tech support” and sharing memes comparing him to the movie “The Godfather.” He has also reshared a post referencing his own persona as “The DOGEfather.”
