    This was all it was about the whole time. The executive branch has been outright bought so Musk can avoid consequences for his businesses’ questionable-at-best ethics.

      With Russian shit you wouldn’t hear of this, and the investigators wouldn’t be very willing to do anything in the first place.

      That you even hear about this is a sign of resilience of your system.

      Like a canary that’s dying, that is.

    This is one of the fun little horrors I’ve been contemplating recently. Wonder what kind of completely unhinged neuralink human trials will be happening this year?

    Musk is a walking conflict of interest pos. So he just fires all the people that have a conflict with his agenda? The United States is fucked under this leadership.

      I feel like in 1820 you were running around blaming crops dying in the Democrats. These people will exist in the future! And if they don’t stop everything before them and after them from happening, it’s their fault! The fall of the Qing Dynasty, Dems fault. Dinosaur extinction… never happened, the Dems made it up because they are still around us. You just can’t see most of them because the Democrats!

      We get it, the DNC is shit.

    Gizmodo is a trash source, they are telling you what you want to hear.

    These people were collateral from their scatter shot mass firing of all probationary employees. Breaking the agencies that regulate his businesses is the goal, but they aren’t specifically targeting employees who are regulating his products.

        There’s a difference between blanket firing all probationary employees and putting specific names of people working on regulating his businesses on a list to fire.

        If you can’t make that distinction in a discussion of how this is bad, then you are going to be dismissed as biased and making false representations.

        There’s plenty of dirt being done without having to make shit up to make it sound worse. The truth matters. People who don’t care about the truth got us into this mess and they certainly aren’t going to get us out of it.

      You know the first people they fired were all the inspector generals right? Those are the watch dogs who investigate where the money is going and watch out for people breaking the law. And they illegally fired the head of the office that protects government whistleblowers. He’s currently counting on the Supreme Court to uphold the law.
