Watch | Boston University Staffer Posts 'Dead or Alive' Threat Against Musk’s DOGE Employees

Boston University staff member Jared May ignited controversy after posting a "Wanted for Treason, Dead or Alive" graphic targeting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees. DOGE, led by Elon Musk, aims to cut government waste, a key Trump 2024 campaign promise. May’s social media post, featuring young DOGE staffers, sparked backlash, prompting Musk to call it a "crime." Boston University distanced itself, but May’s staff webpage was removed. As Democrats label DOGE an "unelected shadow government," Musk claims the outrage confirms its mission's importance.
