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.”
As Gothamist reported, before her retirement in 2022, Bonsignore was both the highest-ranking uniformed woman in FDNY history and the first woman to achieve a four-star rank. At the press conference announcing her appointment, Mamdani praised Bonsignore, saying that “her record speaks for itself,” before detailing her career in the city that spanned from before 9/11 through the worst of the pandemic.
Musk is the richest person on the planet and a rabid opponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion measures, or DEI. He appeared to be claiming that the new head of the FDNY was a diversity hire. He’s written: “Time for DEI to DIE,” “DEI has caused people to DIE,” “DEI is a Civil Rights Act violation,” “DEI kills art,” “DEI puts the lives of your loved ones at risk,” and “DEI is just another word for racism,” amongst his other previous observations about these efforts.
Why is Musk’s opinion on the FDNY “news”?
Sadly being rich makes you opinion on random crap important for some crazy reason.
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah how would he know anything about this? He doesn’t live Anywhere near there. No one is asking him
Says the man who can’t get a car door to reliably open, burning people alive in minor collisions. Meanwhile, EMS trains to open those doors and save lives. STFU, musk.
Elon, and fuckers like him, are a major driving source of human misery. Both because of the wealth hording and politics that wealth hording necessitates, but also because he probably speaks to people and imagine how awful having to talk to that absolute garbage dump of a person would be.
She’s a woman. Small dicks are scared of smart women.
Elon Musk isn’t qualified to lead a hot dog stand. And yet here we are.
From the article:
Musk is the richest person on the planet and a rabid opponent of diversity, equity, and inclusion measures, or DEI.
Let’s call it what it is and stop sugar coating this white supremacist asshole. He’s a racist piece if shit and has been given the massive bullhorn that was Twitter to spout his racist bullshit because the assholes who own Tesla stock keep giving him more money. Good people meed to fully cancel not only Tesla but SpaceX and any other company he is at the head of.
I don’t care that Tesla has created innovative cars. They can be made by other companies just as easily. I don’t care that SpaceX has innovative rockets. The technology exists it can exist again someplace else. This asshole needs to be canceled so hard that he can never come back again. The next non-conservative person who runs for president needs to run on a platform of ending any governmental relationship with Elon Musk, permanently.
Elon Musk is not qualified to open his own damn mouth on any topic of authority.

"DEI has caused people to DIE,”
Your stupid cybertruck doors not opening during fires have caused so many people to DIE, journalists had to conduct their own research to warn the public because you wouldn’t.
You don’t have to be a gay or straight fire chief to know a death trap when you see one, yet you continue to sell your dumpsters of death to the public. Interesting…
Tesla promotes new door safety feature ahead of Bloomberg report on 15 deaths
And he would’ve gotten away with it too if it hadn’t been for you meddling leftwing radical extremists at. ::checks source:: Bloomberg news…
Let’s be honest, he probably will still get away with it bc men like him run the world and we live in a “merit based society,” aMiRiTe? But at least fewer people may die in the future now that he’s actually been forced to acknowledge he sold the public a death trap.
"Proven experience matters when lives are at stake.”
Lmao what a fucking joke 🤣🤣🤣 👌
It’s like Gallagher but instead of a watermelon he gets paid to endanger the public, and destroy people’s entire lives.
woman
Gay
OPRNLY gay
I mean, what do you expect? Of course little butthurt loser is going to screech to conservatives which will continue carrying the screech. This hurts them to their core.
They don’t care about actual metrics or anything, just the thought that a woman could do something useful goes against their beliefs.
And a gay woman? Oh my god, that must be even worse!
Fuck you Elon, you cheese doodle. No one asked you. Go crash another rocket, or estrange your latest crotch goblin.
Grok says: Elon has the best openly intolerant shit-takes!
The only thing musk is qualified for is the receiving end of a guillotine
Elon, just worry about South Africa. Okay?
