USAID is facing significant changes after 50 senior staff members were put on leave, signage was removed from headquarters, and their computer system was compromised. Elon Musk claims Donald Trump has authorized him to shut down the agency, leading to a directive for staff not to report to work. USAID plays a crucial role in providing billions in humanitarian aid to combat famine and disease in developing countries, which is vital to prevent influence from nations like China and Russia. The situation raises concerns about Musk's involvement, as he is not an elected official and has government contracts globally. While he claims to address issues, the motivations behind his actions remain unclear, highlighting the need for transparency.

I can take a nap while this guy, who wasn't born in the U.S. and grew up under apartheid in South Africa, does my job. He might even be a foreign agent or an enemy of the United States. I'm getting some flack for saying Musk was pro-apartheid. I don't really know for sure, but he grew up during that time, so maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. He might have been young. So, Elon, please don't sue me!

We're here to ensure Americans don't wake up needing to boil their water because the EPA's workforce was removed. We provide oversight, especially after reports of EPA employees facing job insecurity. These individuals are already undermining the system. Elon Musk is breaking the law; a federal court ruled against firing people with deferred payments lacking federal authority. We're protecting federal workers, clean air, water, and the environment. This isn't the time to pause climate action. We lost four years and must recover lost ground, so these critical programs must stay intact. Elon Musk threatens essential agencies. Unless the public demands environmental protection, we're here to warn that these changes are coming.

Elon Musk did not create USAID, and he cannot destroy it. We will stop him. Musk may have gained control over financial systems, but he does not control the American people's money. His actions threaten lives globally, impacting crucial programs like HIV and AIDS prevention and anti-malarial education. Regardless of Musk's intentions, they do not align with the laws established by Congress. We will defend USAID. Reports indicate that evaluations have been removed from the USAID website, jeopardizing major foreign aid programs totaling less than $40 billion, while the Pentagon budget is nearly $900 billion. Musk, who became wealthy from public funds, is attempting to undermine USAID, but we will not allow this to happen.

On Thursday, a SpaceX Starship rocket exploded minutes into its test flight, leading the FAA to temporarily halt air traffic around several Florida airports. This marks the second consecutive failed Starship test flight for Elon Musk's company. My suggestion for Elon is that rockets are hard. If that's the case, he should focus on his "day job" and leave government to those who know how to provide services and make the government function. Because his rockets are blowing up and the government is blowing up. This rocket blowing up affected airports in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The ground stop costs money. He is doing things that he can't quite figure out how to do. All those people whose planes were circling the skies waiting to land who could not land because he can't figure out his rocket business. He needs to do some work at home.

I think Elon Musk should not be involved with our departments. We want accountability for the homeless and those with mental illness on the streets. We don't want a nonelected man, appointed by the president, causing people to lose their jobs and homes. What do I tell the American people? Hi, how are you? Should we audit your taxes?

Elon Musk and his team have imposed a gag order on AID employees, disconnecting them from email and jeopardizing lives globally. We are entering the building to gather firsthand accounts from those at AID or witnesses regarding Musk's attempted takeover, which we will not allow to succeed. We will prevail.

I work for an affiliate company that exclusively sells Anheuser Busch products. Due to recent cancellations, sales have significantly dropped, which is disheartening because people are not buying this beer. This has resulted in financial difficulties for me and my family. It's sad that Anheuser Busch made a decision without understanding their customers. I want to express my gratitude to Anheuser Busch for potentially putting my family's well-being at risk.

This past week has been incredibly difficult, both personally and professionally. Since the new administration began, there's been a climate of fear and uncertainty, impacting my colleagues and me. We've felt unsafe, unsure of who to trust, and worried about the security of our communications. This has created a widespread sense of insecurity. My anonymity is crucial because my personal information – including my Social Security number and contact details – has been compromised. I fear that Doge members, including Elon Musk, have access to this sensitive data. I'm concerned about potential targeting. The current methods being used are dangerous, illegal, and cruel. They don't align with the President's mandate and are being carried out by a rogue few. The actions of a billionaire unilaterally removing aid to the world's poorest is horrifying. I'm angry, sad, and devastated for my colleagues, family, and the American people.

People are scared because they suddenly lost their financial security. Just weeks ago, they knew how to cover childcare and medical bills, but now everything's gone. Christina Drey and Adam Dubard were fired this month during the shutdown of foreign aid distributed by USAID. The administration sent over 8,000 USAID employees home, seemingly based on loyalty rather than competence. These dedicated public servants, with decades of experience across multiple administrations, were abruptly dismissed. They were reportedly emailed and then escorted out of the building, without any clear explanation. They couldn't even return. There was no process or explanation given to them.

People are really scared because overnight, many lost their next paycheck and ability to pay for childcare and medical bills. Christina Drey and Adam Dubard were fired this month amidst the chaotic shutdown of foreign aid distributed by USAID. Over 8,000 USAID employees were sent home, not based on competency but on loyalty tests. These are people with decades of public service across administrations, and they had to leave the building immediately. As far as I know, they received an email, and if they didn't leave, they were escorted out. There was no process or explanation given to them.

I was just fired from my job. After six years building the diversity, equity and inclusion department from scratch at Microsoft, I lose my job because a random person reports my posts to my employer and takes my job and security away for a thought, for an opinion. Somebody screenshot all of my TikToks. I made some stupid comments about Charlie Kirk on the day that he was shot, I said some things on blue sky and on threads, and I deleted them when it was requested by my employer. 'and you talk about freedom of speech like you care about it.' 'I felt joy that day.' 'I can't help that. So I don't deserve a job?' 'Fired You from my fucking job.' 'Now I have nothing but this website. I have nothing anymore.'

Elon Musk and his team have imposed a gag order on AID employees, cutting off their email access and potentially endangering lives globally. We are entering the building to gather firsthand accounts from anyone present at AID or who has witnessed the situation regarding Musk's attempted takeover. We are determined to stand against this and will prevail.

Elon Musk tweeted that the CFPB is next. We've said these regulatory agencies need to be reduced. The unions inside the CFPB are acting against employee interests. They're blocking an eight-month paid leave option, a deferred resignation benefit. The unions claim to support employees but are actually trying to prevent them from accessing this benefit. Union bosses fear a smaller federal workforce will impact their income. It's clear what's happening: the unions are self-serving, not employee-focused.

People paint me as an oligarch trying to raid the government for wealth, but since joining the administration to improve government efficiency, my net worth has dropped by $133 billion. Besides the financial hit, there's been vandalism targeting Tesla across the country, like Molotov cocktails at dealerships and burned charging stations. Tesla's stock recently experienced its biggest one-day drop since September, marking the seventh consecutive week of losses. So, why make these sacrifices? While wealth, power, and fame motivate many, I already possessed these before my current role. This initiative has only cost me personally. Therefore, consider that, much like my goals of putting a man on Mars or electrifying vehicles, I view this as a mission to put the United States on sound financial footing.

I discussed some of the concerning individuals surrounding Musk. Does this surprise you? Sadly, no. It's a familiar pattern. Experienced professionals aren't drawn to such chaotic and toxic environments. This approach appeals to a specific type of person, as we saw at Twitter. Inexperienced engineers evaluated our code, and we endured loyalty exercises like printing code and justifying our work—a demoralizing and insulting process. I'm hearing similar accounts of long-tenured federal employees facing similar humiliating situations. This is insulting to the dedicated federal employees who work hard daily. It's truly unacceptable.

I received an email from the Department of Health and Human Services stating that I was being terminated during my probationary period. They said my skills didn't fit the agency's needs and that my performance wasn't adequate. This really hurt because I worked hard to get this job, especially after moving from out of state. It's upsetting to think some people are celebrating this, assuming we're lazy and living off the government. My coworkers and I cared about our jobs and wanted to help people. It's painful to have something you care about taken away unfairly. I'm worried about what I'm going to do now. For those also dealing with this, know that you're not trash. What you did mattered, and you won't be forgotten by those you worked with.

Elon Musk has imposed a gag order on AID employees, disconnecting them from email and jeopardizing lives globally. We are entering the building to gather firsthand accounts from anyone at AID or witnesses regarding Musk's attempted takeover, which we will not allow to succeed. We will prevail.

I was abruptly fired from my teaching job, with no explanation. I lost important work and personal data. Despite following rules, I was let go due to online content. I feel unsupported by colleagues. Thank you for the support. Moving forward with new opportunities.

I lost my job last night, just two weeks after the recent changes initiated by Elon Musk regarding USAID. I've been a shift lead on a project for seven years, and now I'm unemployed. This situation has serious consequences for real people like me. I’m left wondering how to explain this to my family and kids. The impact of these decisions is not just theoretical; it affects lives. What if we never find out if the wheels on the bus go round and round? Does anyone care about the real implications of these changes?

On Thursday, a SpaceX Starship rocket exploded minutes into its test flight, leading the FAA to temporarily halt air traffic around several Florida airports. This marks the second consecutive destructive Starship test flight for Elon Musk's company. My response to Elon's claim that "rockets are hard" is that if they are so hard, he should stick to his day job and leave governing to those of us who can provide services to people. I suggest he focuses on what he knows, because his rockets are blowing up, and so is the government. Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out that Elon keeps blowing things up literally and figuratively, then fires people claiming that they are failures, and that his failures have nothing to do with DEI because he doesn't believe in it, but he'd possibly be succeeding right now if he did.

Elon Musk has targeted the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), removing two top leaders who resisted him. Employees were abruptly told not to come to the office and many were locked out of their accounts. Similar actions are occurring in the Treasury Department, where Musk and his associates now have access to sensitive federal payment systems and personal information of federal employees. There's been a lack of a clear and united response from leading Democrats to these developments, with some voices emerging during confirmation hearings but overall responses being slow and often vague. It's unclear what actions are being taken to counter this takeover.

Let's be clear: Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest man, contributed heavily to Donald Trump's election. Since then, his wealth has skyrocketed, and he's now targeting USAID, a vital program aiding the world's poorest. This is unacceptable. His next targets will likely be programs impacting families directly—Medicaid, Medicare, education, affordable housing, and more. We must fight back. This country is a democracy; our government should work for everyone, not just billionaires. Let's organize and tell Trump that this isn't right. We can stop this. We can protect these essential programs and ensure a government that serves all its citizens. Let's stand together and fight for what's right. Thank you.

I was fired from my teaching job abruptly. I lost my computer with important work. I feel betrayed after dedicating 4 years to the school. The reason given was lack of trust in me not sharing information online, which I never did. I appreciate the support. Now focusing on moving forward with Wequel. Thank you.

I am leaving Project Eratas as I currently have no job or position due to the actions of the Board. Today, on Presidents' Day, I will be packing up my personal belongings. I don't have the answers as to why they have been doing this or why board members were collecting grievances directly from employees. However, I believe that the reasons and motivations behind their actions will be revealed in due time. It is important for the public to know what has happened and why there was a deliberate effort to remove me from the organization I founded, especially during the same week as our biggest story ever.
