lol someone needs to sperg wrangle this BIPOC, he's going to end up getting cases brought against him since these people don't have arbitration agreements like his own employees, and while he may get the employees to quit, he'll be paying the remainder of their lifetime salaries out of his own pocket. She isn't a "public figure" legally. Elonia is. A shit load of people have Director in their title, that doesn't mean she's a political appointee.
I know they don't have laws in boerBIPOCland, but here in the civilized world, for a defamation case, a plaintiff just needs to prove that there has been a false statement about the plaintiff and that it has been published and seen by members of the public, and which has caused the Plaintiff damage. The damage can be lost career opportunities or need for security or even emotional harm. Seems exactly what homegirl is gearing up for here. I'd be surprised if she didn't have law firms calling her already.
Even though her job title says "diversification" this foid works to develop strategies for farmers to reduce the impact of climate on various sectors of the economy, especially agriculture. If certain food crops may end up failing because of drought, they help r-slurs to stop planting rice and to plant something that grows well where they're at.
As far as costs, the organization this lady works for had revenues (from their loans and shit) that exceeded their expenditures by 162 million which are remitted to the treasury. Shutting it down would mean 162mm less in the Treasury. Donald Trump created the agency by splitting it off from USAID
You are an illiterate r-slur if you think Elon will suffer a defamation lawsuit. America has a high bar for defamation for public figures like major government employees.
Holy shit, almost as if I had said this in the post:
She isn't a "public figure" legally. Elonia is. A shit load of people have Director in their title, that doesn't mean she's a political appointee.
She's apparently a career employee in a non-public facing role, not politically appointed (obviously because Trump could just eliminate the position)
"Public officials" as those whose positions invite "public scrutiny" and whose actions are of public concern. Hutchinson v. Proxmire, 443 U.S. 111 (1979) is a binding precedent, in which a Climate Researcher was given a Golden Fleece award by a Senator who mentioned only his job title. The Supreme Court ruled that even though he had some access to the public in the scope of his research:
His access, such as it was, came after the alleged libel, and was limited to responding to the announcement of the award. Those charged with alleged defamation cannot, by their own conduct, create their own defense by making the claimant a public figure. Nor is the concern about public expenditures sufficient to make petitioner a public figure, petitioner at no time having assumed any role of public prominence in the broad question of such concern.
Posting a non-public facing federal employee's name and saying "so I heard this guy was in charge of BIPOCcute twinks and gay anal s*x" when you're actually in charge of contracting and misrepresenting what you do in order to rile up 80 IQ proles meets the standard.
Even if she was considered a public figure, the original X poster could likely be said to post with actual malice given the misrepresentation of where their data came from when asked.
She isn't an political appointee from the list of official appointments, the original poster said he got her info from "OPM dot gov" but that's a lie, because OPM doesn't list that shit.
The Xstrag's info came from a site called Bidensbasement which is an unsourced boomer sneed page and I think they just put anyone with a title that they didn't like the sound of on there.
What we're discovering now that nobody knew is that there are a lot of agencies that are very smart and useful to have. A lot of these agencies are some of the best agencies but nobody knew about them until I noticed them.
The employee may potentially have grounds for claims of Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress (NIED), defamation, or false light against Elonia
Elon Musk, as a highly influential individual with millions of r-slur followers and significant reach, arguably has a heightened duty to act responsibly when publicizing statements, especially those that could foreseeably result in harm to others. Courts might find a duty of care in this case because it is foreseeable that making such a statement about a non-public-facing federal employee could expose her to harassment, particularly given Musk's large and neurodivergent audience of sexy Indian dudes and freaks.
A reasonable person in Musk's position should understand that such a statement could lead to harm, and would probably shut the frick up.
If Musk negligently failed to verify the truth of his claim that the employee's job was "fake" or recklessly disregarded its accuracy, this could constitute a breach of this duty and it may be viewed as careless or reckless given the predictable harm.
Any harassment and abuse that followed his statement could potentially be shown to have been directly caused by his publication. The employee would need to demonstrate that she suffered severe emotional harm, such as anxiety, depression, or whatever else because of the statement.
He might argue that his statement is protected speech. However, courts have held that the First Amendment does not protect speech that incites foreseeable harm like harassment.
For defamation, Musk's statement would need to be false, but it could also hecking stochastic violence. So if the statement is framed as an opinion, it might still be actionable if it implies false, defamatory facts. Once again, Musk published the statement to millions of followers on Twitter, easily satisfying this element.
Private Individual vs. Public Figure: If the employee is a private individual (not a public figure), she would only need to show that Musk acted negligently in determining the truth of his statement.
Any harassment and abuse, coupled with the widespread dissemination of the claim that her job is fake, would likely have caused harm to her reputation, particularly if it undermines her credibility.
Once again, might argue the statement was an opinion, not a verifiable fact, but the courts distinguish between fact and opinion based on the context and how the (r-slurred) audience would interpret the statement.
Now for a false light claim, the employee would need to establish the 1.) Publicity: Musk's statement reached millions of followers on Twitter, meeting the requirement for widespread publicity. 2.)False/misleading information: The statement that her job is "fake" could place her in a false or misleading light, even if not technically defamatory. 3.) It's highly offensive to a reasonable person: The suggestion that her job is fake, especially coupled with the resulting harassment and abuse, would likely be highly offensive to a normie. and 4.) Negligence (or Actual Malice): Xhe would need to show that Musk acted negligently (like retweeting information without verifying its accuracy) or with actual malice.
Also—There is liability for harassment by followers:
Even if Elonia did not directly harass the employee, liability could arise from inciting harassment. If his tweet can be interpreted as encouraging his followers to harass the employee, he could be held liable for the foreseeable consequences of his actions.
The court might assess whether Musk's statement was inflammatory, reckless, or directly invited harassment (like
idk by providing her name or personal details).
What was said could imply that the employee is unqualified, fraudulent, or unproductive in her role. Even if it was misleading rather than no-shit false, it could still qualify as false light.
Either way, it's probably enough to get some obama bucks from him in an out of court settlement.

It's a tall ask, but cite the law or some cases about that because I've never heard of that shit--and I don't believe it has went anywhere ever.
GTFO, plaintiff.
!lawyers, please weigh in on this nonsense. It's about Elon saying "hey, these four people may lose their jobs in government."

Have you looked up the legal definition of defamation?
