Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg unleashed a foul-mouthed rant against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) late Tuesday after his grandfather’s namesake JFK Presidential Library and Museum temporarily closed due to layoffs of taxpayer-funded staff.
The 32-year-old grandson of President John F, Kennedy told the cost-cutting DOGE initiative to “eat s–t” after the Boston-based library shut its doors Tuesday afternoon because of staffing cuts.
The library blamed the closure on President Trump’s recent executive order overhauling the federal workforce.
“Hey, it’s Jack,” Schlossberg said in the clip posted online — just two weeks after he dramatically claimed he was quitting social media. “I’m OK, but our country is not. It’s under attack from its own government.”
Schlossberg, who has become infamous for his slew of wild online rants, ripped Trump and DOGE head Musk, alleging they are “using propaganda to steal the past” and his family’s legacy.
“JFK sent a man to the moon,” he said. “But you’d never know it if the JFK Library wasn’t open and no one was allowed to talk about it.”
It comes after the library abruptly taped a sign to its door at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday informing would-be visitors that it would be “closed to the public until further notice.”
The move was due, in part, to all probationary employees being laid off, effective immediately, under Trump’s order, WCVB-TV reported.
“The sudden dismissal of federal employees at the JFK Library forced the museum to close today,” the JFK Library Foundation said in a statement. “As the Foundation that supports the JFK Library, we are devastated by this news and will continue to support our colleagues and the Library.”
The library reopened as normal on Wednesday.
The news sent Schlossberg into a spiral as the Yale-educated scion — whose family net worth was estimated at $1.2 billion a decade ago — railed against Trump’s cost-cutting initiative.
“In my opinion, it has nothing to do with government efficiency,” he said. “The workers who were fired today actually bring in revenue for the government.”
“It’s time to speak out and resist what’s happening. If you’re not doing that, you’re not helping,” Schlossberg continued.
“The darkest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”
An unnamed staffer told The Washington Post the library was forced to shut temporarily because the dismissals left the facility without a receptionist or ticket staff.
“The director of the library made the decision to close the museum because they couldn’t sell tickets, and they couldn’t manage the visitor experience,” the employee said.
“There’s obviously a responsibility to make sure the visitors are safe, etc., so he closed the museum until further notice.”
Meanwhile, Schlossberg’s tirade came some two weeks after he abruptly declared he was quitting social media “forever” following a spate of public attacks on his cousin, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and others tied to Trump.
“I’m sorry to everyone. I was wrong. I’m deleting all my social media. Forever,” he wrote on Feb. 12, before taking down his Instagram, TikTok and X accounts.
It came, too, as family sources told The Post that Schlossberg’s unhinged outbursts were running the Kennedy legacy into the ground.
