Lot of people in for a rude awakening and strong dose of reality. They don&#8217;t get it yet, but they will,&#8221; he added on X.<\/p>\n<p>Unions quickly opposed Musk&#8217;s request, with the largest federal employee union, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), vowing to challenge any unlawful terminations. <\/p>\n<p>Concern has begun to emerge on Capitol Hill from Mr. Trump&#8217;s own Republican party, which controls both the House and the Senate. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I could say one thing to Elon Musk, it&#8217;s like, &#8216;Please put a dose of compassion in this,'&#8221; said Sen.
