Threats to Climate-Related US Agencies | Azimuth
Trump’s cronies are already going after US government employees involved in the response to climate change. You can read about it here:
• Hadas Gold and Rene Marsh, Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers, CNN, 27 November 2024.
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.
Last week, in the midst of the flurry of his daily missives, Musk reposted two X posts that revealed the names and titles of people holding four relatively obscure climate-related government positions. Each post has been viewed tens of millions of times, and the individuals named have been subjected to a barrage of negative attention. At least one of the four women named has deleted her social media accounts.
Although the information he posted on those government positions is available through public online databases, these posts target otherwise unknown government employees in roles that do not deal directly with the public.
