Musk has repeatedly accused people who post the names of his DOGE associates on X of breaking the law (to be clear: doing so absolutely is not a crime). He made a similar claim in response to the screenshots from r/WhitePeopleTwitter posted by Reddit Lies, saying “they have broken the law.” Engadget was unable to verify the Reddit comments posted by the account, but it included statements like “time to hunt” and “this nazi stooge needs to be shot.”

It’s kind of comforting that whitepeopletwitter of all things is too radical for them. Fascism creates its own enemy cohort based on who it demonizes, and if it’s demonizing groups this innocuous it’s creating a pretty big one.
