Calling Tesla CEO Elon Musk a “d***”, US Senator Tina Smith on Sunday lashed out at Musk's asking US federal employees to justify their work or lose their jobs. In a post on X, Smith wrote, “This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.” She further added, "I bet a lot of people have had an experience like this with a bad boss - there’s an email in your inbox on Saturday night saying, “Prove to me your worthiness by Monday or else.” I’m on the side of the workers, not the billionaire asshole bosses, Smith noted. Replying to this, Musk asked Smith, “What did you do last week?” What did Elon Musk say to Federal workers? Trump's ‘Aggressive Approach’ Earlier Saturday, Trump said on his Truth Social platform that Musk was “doing a great job, but I would like to see him get more aggressive.” "Remember, we have a country to save," the Republican leader added.
