  • I think the biggest difference is that Elon has money. Most of the people Trump throws under the bus are people that served a useful function but then stopped fulfilling that function.

    Elon’s function is to have money. He bought Twitter and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump and Republicans. He threatens to fund primary challengers for any Republican that doesn’t fall in line.

    I don’t see that usefulness disappearing anytime soon, no matter how unpopular he is.


  • These people are getting paid since February 15th when they were fired. Meanwhile, many of these positions were being backfilled by air traffic controllers working overtime, most of the time not doing as well of a job as the person who was “fired” in the first place.

    So to recap: Elon and Trump fired well qualified and necessary employees, continued to pay them after they left, then over paid someone else to do their job, but worse, making us all less safe and simultaneously overworking an already notoriously overworked group of ATCs who have one of the most stressful jobs in the world.

    I dunno about you guys, but I’m not sure this Department of Government Efficiency is actually very efficient…
