Mary Papenfuss at The Independent Workers reports the American Federation of State, Municipal and County Employees (AFSCME) is blasting DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) hatchet man and billionaire Elon Musk after he reposted a startling message on X declaring that “Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Public Sector Employees did.” AFSCME President Lee Saunders fired off a furious response: “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. Elon Musk and the billionaires in this administration have no idea what real people go through every day. That’s why he’s so willing to take a chainsaw to people’s jobs, Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare.” It was only the latest of Musk’s disturbing instances of sidling up to Hitler as he appeared to excuse the actions of the architect of the Holocaust that murdered six million Jews and others to pick on Public Employees, whose jobs he has cut by the thousands since Donald Trump took office.
