Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is facing intense backlash from the left as it works to eliminate wasteful spending. Charged with identifying bloated and partisan projects, DOGE has already saved taxpayers over $75 billion. One of its first major targets was the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which DOGE swiftly exposed as a slush fund for leftist initiatives across the globe—operating with little to no congressional oversight.
The reaction to DOGE’s actions has been intense. Democrats have voiced fierce opposition, with concerns that Musk's reforms might undermine critical funding flows. Last week they tried to storm both the USAID headquarters and the Department of Education to stop DOGE’s efforts.
As Musk continues to stretch the boundaries of governmental reform, the Democrats have become more unhinged, and now they appear to be making threats against him and his family.
On Sunday, an article published by The Hill disclosed personal details about Musk’s immediate family, including information about his children and ex-wives.
Musk, who has been designated as a “special government employee,” has been criticized, along with DOGE, for his efforts to shrink government spending. The newly formed agency faces several lawsuits and challenges as critics allege the billionaire has overstepped his bounds.
Here’s a breakdown of Musk’s immediate family and those closely associated with him.
This kind of media framing raises serious ethical concerns. What exactly did The Hill hope to achieve by dragging Musk’s family into the spotlight? There’s something undeniably retaliatory about this approach, and given the context, it feels like a calculated attempt to undermine him. It’s the political equivalent of a veiled threat—akin to a warning shot meant to intimidate rather than inform.
The article needlessly drags Musk’s ex-wives and young children into the spotlight—people who have absolutely nothing to do with his work on behalf of taxpayers. There is no legitimate journalistic reason for exposing their personal details, yet here they are, put on display for no apparent reason other than to target Musk.

Are we really supposed to believe this isn’t intimidation? That it isn’t a calculated effort to send Musk a message while hiding behind the guise of journalism? It’s outrageous that so many in the mainstream media have abandoned even the pretense of professional ethics.
And let’s be clear—this kind of thing matters. Democrats spent years painting Trump as a dangerous dictator, and last year, there were two failed assassination attempts against him. Now, their incendiary rhetoric has turned toward Musk.
“As we gear up for the tax fight, it will become even clearer that Trump will open the doors for his billionaires and giant corporations to find more ways to loot the government at your expense. Meanwhile, everyone else pays more for groceries, more for housing, more for prescription drugs, and more for health care when unelected billionaires start ransacking our government offices,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said last week. “This is not business as usual. Nope. Nothing is normal. We are living a nightmare created by Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and we need to wake up. We need to use every tool we have to fight back."
We’ve seen firsthand what happens when unhinged leftists take Democrats' rhetoric seriously. Radicalized followers, convinced they have a moral duty to act, have already attempted to assassinate Trump. And now, with Democrats openly demonizing Musk and the media recklessly exposing details about his family, the risk is undeniable. This isn’t just irresponsible—it’s dangerous. The combination of inflammatory rhetoric and doxxing is a clear invitation for some deranged activist to take matters into their own hands. How long before this reckless behavior has real, irreversible consequences?
