A Boston University staff member named Jared May has caused a big controversy with a shocking post on social media. He shared a graphic that said “Wanted for Treason, Dead or Alive,” targeting young workers from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is run by billionaire Elon Musk. This department aims to cut government waste and is part of Donald Trump’s campaign for the 2024 Presidential election.
The post included the names and pictures of six young DOGE employees, who are considered very important and have access to confidential government information. Following this, political activist Charlie Kirk condemned May’s post and called for immediate action, saying that Boston University should lose all funding if May isn’t fired right away.
Boston University acknowledged the situation, stating, “We are aware of a post made by an employee,” but added that they wouldn’t comment on personal matters. They emphasized that May’s views do not represent the university. Soon after, May’s staff page was taken down.
The issue got even more attention when Elon Musk himself responded to May’s post, saying, “Noted,” and claimed that May had committed a crime. The U.S. Attorney’s office is now investigating the situation to see if any laws were broken.
The DOGE program, which has generated mixed feelings, faces criticism mainly from Democrats, who argue that it acts like a secret government and lacks proper authority. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has criticized DOGE, claiming it threatens the proper functioning of government. In response, Musk defended DOGE, stating, “Hysterical reactions like this show that DOGE is doing important work.”
