Musk: Some Reddit users threatening DOGE employees is illegal, don't mess with DOGE
On February 4th, Elon Musk, the head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), retweeted a post titled "Reddit Lies" from user X. The post exposed multiple anonymous Reddit users threatening DOGE department employees, with some content even advocating for extreme actions against them and implying attempts to find their addresses for targeted actions.
Musk retweeted this post stating: "They (the relevant Reddit users) have broken the law." Shortly after, Musk released a statement from Edward R. Martin Jr., Federal Prosecutor for the District of Columbia. The statement said that the Justice Department has conducted a preliminary review of related evidence and found clear threats made by individuals and groups against DOGE employees. Currently, the department is closely cooperating with FBI and other law enforcement agencies and has initiated prosecution procedures. Musk commented along with his text: Don't mess with DOGE.
