Most common white supremacist hand sign in the world
(Heil Trump)
WASHINGTON − Billionaire Elon Musk, who has been cutting thousands of federal workers as the head of DOGE reposted a message on X saying: “Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Public sector employees did.”
The Musk post read: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”
(My insert: That's why Musk hates American federal workers across all agencies).
Musk's X post, which now appears to be deleted, drew furious reactions from a labor union and the Anti-Defamation League.
Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, fired back: “America’s public service workers — our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians — chose making our communities safe, healthy and strong over getting rich. They are not, as the world’s richest man implies, genocidal murderers.”
Historical facts:
1. Nazi leader Adolph Hitler led to the murders of six million European Jews in the Holocaust and caused the deaths of millions more civilians in World War II.
2. Dictator Josef Stalin killed between six and nine million Soviet citizens through executions, starvation, and imprisonment.
3. Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong's policies are estimated to have killed between 30 million and 45 million people through starvation and disease.

My 2 Cents: Why is Trump cutting funding for all the Federal agencies? Why does he stick to and stand by Musk? As outlined by the executive orders, Trump recently elected seven agencies he determined to be unnecessary. Now nearly all 15 in total, and independent agencies as well.
Trump has signed an executive order that aims to eliminate seven more federal agencies, including ones that focus on media, libraries, museums, and ending homelessness.
The president directed the government entities to “be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law,” insisting they “reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel.”
It ordered the heads of each entity to submit a report to the OMB (Russell Vought (PROJECT 2025 guru) confirming full compliance within seven days.
The president targeted the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which is the parent company of Voice of America (VOA), as well as the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in the Smithsonian Institution, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, an agency that supports libraries, archives and museums in every state.
He also dismantled the Interagency Council on Homelessness, which aims to prevent and end homelessness in the U.S; the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, an agency focused on preventing, minimizing and resolving work stoppages and labor disputes; the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, which aims to expand economic opportunity for underserved communities; and the Minority Business Development Agency, which promotes growth of minority-owned businesses.
Amid questions over the future of VOA, Trump has picked Kari Lake to lead the outlet. Lake, Trump ally said at the Conservative Political Action Conference: “It won’t be Trump TV” under her watch.
A White House Fact Sheet outlines that DOGE led by Musk had identified those agencies worth slashing.
That fact sheet states: “Cutting these governmental entities will save taxpayer dollars, reduce unnecessary government spending, and streamline government priorities.”
The Trump administration did not immediately respond for comment about the order when contacted by USA TODAY.

Finally, how can any American stick with Trump and Musk?
Thanks for stopping by.
