Full Steam Ahead and Damn the Torpedos

I’m not sure why so many people are mad at Musk auditing government spending. It’s seems like a non partisan benefit to American taxpayers

Auditing? What auditing? There has been no auditing.

Instead, there has been the indiscriminate termination of thousands and thousands of employees, not based on the duties they perform, but on the fact that they are in the first year in the position.

It is the flawed process that Musk used when he terminated all of the Tesla employees who were working on the expansion of the SuperCharger network. Then he had to go back to them, asking them to come back.

One can be wasteful and risky with one’s own business. Being wasteful and risky with public services, including safety and security services, is a whole different, and higher, level of folly.


Musk and Trump are like Dr Strangelove with a pile of pink slips.
