“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.”

    Ass loads of people died when Trump was in charge during the pandemic but there you are standing right next to him in the next election. The bigots love shouting their bigotry from rooftops to an American populace too stupid to get it, they even join in.
