Original Note:
Mr. Musk has no personally authority to "arbitrarily fire federal workers" as the post states. Mr. Musk is working as a "special gov. employee" for the President. (Act passed in 1962) Any federal employee "fired" is done so by (POTUS) and not Mr. Musk https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:18%20section:202%20edition:prelim) https://www.npr.org/2025/02/13/nx-s1-5293124/special-government-employee-trump-musk-doge
