House Republicans Hit Elon Musk and DOGE: ‘Seems Rash’ to ‘Fire People Via Twitter’

House Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill criticized Elon Musk’s efforts to target federal workers — with one saying it “seems rash” to “fire people via Twitter.”

CNN anchor Manu Raju noted that the Department of Government Efficiency’s cuts and layoffs in the federal workforce have affected people across the political spectrum in terms of Congressional districts.

Raju spoke with Reps. Rich McCormick (R-GA), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) and Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) — who expressed their concerns about DOGE coming off as “insensitive” due to the mass firings.

RAJU: Give me a sense on your concerns.

MCCORMICK: To be a little bit more compassionate in the way we message this. It matters to people. And I want to make sure that we don’t come across as insensitive. We care about people. That’s why we’re making the cuts.

MALLIOTAKIS: This idea that they’re going to just fire people via Twitter. Elon Musk, that to me seems rash. It seems not appropriate.

RAJU: DOGE specifically, but the cuts, you have any concerns about that?

CISCOMANI: We’re having conversations in our district about all that.
