“People will die because of this,” he said, implying that Mamdani’s pick was a DEI hire.
Elon Musk took to his social media site on Friday to decry New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s pick to lead the city’s fire department, claiming that she couldn’t do the job.
The commissioner-to-be, Lillian Bonsignore, is a 31-year FDNY veteran who led the department’s emergency medical services during the Covid-19 pandemic. She will be the second woman to hold the position and the first openly gay person to lead the department.
That was enough for Musk to weigh in. “People will die because of this,” he wrote, adding, “Proven experience matters when lives are at stake.”
Elon Musk let a bunch of teenagers/20-somethings run into gov buildings as DOGE, take a bunch of data and fire thousands of people. The damage is still all over the place.
People are literally starving as we speak because of their destruction of USAID. Lives at stake, what a joke.
