Letters to the Editor: Elon Musk is any private business’ nightmare of a CEO

LA Times  

To the editor: If the chief executive of any private company were to conduct a “downsizing” as chaotically and cruelly as Elon Musk has as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, he would be fired. Consider Musk’s record: Indiscriminate mass firings of employees without regard to qualifications or performance; absurd demands that Pentagon supervisors produce lists within days of thousands of civilian employees to be fired; insulting requirements that government employees explain what they have accomplished in the last week, under threat of termination if they don’t; and clueless terminations of employees who safeguard our nuclear arsenal. In the face of criticism of this scorched-earth destruction of the federal workforce, President Trump and his wingman Musk mug for the crowd with chainsaws and send out demeaning cartoons on X oblivious to the anxiety, fears and uncertainty of each and every one of those fired employees. To the editor: There have been several letters to the editor recently asking why there has been so much outrage over the Trump/Musk downsizing of the federal bureaucracy.
