'National security crisis' as Trump fires multiple nuclear weapons safety officials

29. Leon Musk just thinks he can get away with this

because he fired most of Twitter’s staff and it still (kind of) works. Although its revenue is still a small fraction of what it was before he bought it. It’s only surviving because he can pump money into it.

Musk has no idea what the effect of all these firings will be. I have a friend who had his offer to become a patent examiner at the U.S. Patent Office rescinded. They were looking to hire over 1000 examiners this year and are constantly short-staffed. The ability to get timely patent approvals directly affects US competitiveness and the ability to protect intellectual property.

The whole intent is to break the government and then complain because it doesn’t work. When the next hurricane hits Florida, or Texas, or Louisiana and there’s no FEMA to provide rapid assistance do you think Trump will take responsibility? Not a chance.
