  • Federal workers and their supporters railed against President Trump and Elon Musk in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday afternoon as a part of a nationwide action against the administration's ongoing federal job purge.

The article from MSN discusses a protest by federal workers in Manhattan against Elon Musk and Donald Trump, focusing on their perceived roles in cutting government jobs. The protesters, who gathered outside a federal building, expressed their discontent through chants and signs, some of which humorously suggested that Musk should "delete Doge," referencing his involvement with Dogecoin. The demonstration was part of a broader movement against what the workers see as detrimental policies affecting federal employment, with specific criticism aimed at Trump's administration for reducing the federal workforce and Musk for his influence on policy through his business ventures and political endorsements. The protest also highlighted concerns over job security, benefits, and the privatization of government functions, which the workers fear could lead to further job losses and diminished public services.
