If we aren’t using stories like this and words like “reckless” and “dangerously incompetent” whenever we talk about this admin, then what are we even doing?

Just the beginning....wait till the terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and pandemics start. You can't fire all the experts and replace them with computer hackers.

This is an absolute clown show. They cut 16% of the workforce that is tasked with maintaining our nuclear stockpile as well as monitoring the rest of the worlds nuclear activities. Then they call them back like it was an April fools joke. The incompetence is breathtaking and embarrassing!

All this is no rookie mistake, it's Trump 2, so this time they came prepared, with a plan. It's just that the plan is to destroy the US from within and reign on the rubbles like Trump 1 plan was, but this time they know how to do it.

Yeah, because we still... ummm... have a bunch of them, and it we need some people who actually know how they work before some 19 year old hacker decides it would be cool to "play a game". (Sorry to all you 19 year olds who know better)

The nuclear specialists should agree to return as contractors for three times their salaries. Defeat Elon’s “break it and then fix whatever shouldn’t be broken” BS methodology. His “fail faster, learn faster” credo is why the Gulf of Mexico is full of taxpayer-funded rocket debris.

So, Musk, acting without Constitutional authority fired people whose jobs are integral to the functioning of the agency that he targeted - every single one of these people now has grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit against the private citizen Elon Musk

No no no, the meritocracy that they're talking about is white men getting a presumption of not just competence but exceptionality. You're thinking of a system that would _actually_ evaluate people via competence and merit.

If only he would’ve posted the receipts on time, we might’ve actually been able to help avoid this quicker, but still… Zero fucking transparency and little hearts celebrating Valentine’s Day on an official government website website

I know people need their jobs but ngl, it would be hilarious if they refused to come back and demanded huge raises. You know they'd hire a bunch of df nepo babies and get us all Chernobyled, but there would be at least like 10 solid minutes of us laughing our asses off first.

This clown show @ NNSA included one of my fam — highly skilled in nuclear safety, high level security clearance, perfect merit scores, in 2nd of probation. They were fired yesterday with 0 notice, rehired today. Not only a serious threat to national security — but complete waste of money & talent.

The status of America is: vulnerable. He has no idea what or whom these Americans are he's firing, obviously. It's like playing Russian Roulette as a federal employee right now. We moved 1900 miles from everyone I know, I resigned in 2015. Govt. work is demanding. 84-114 hours a week for months.

I too was DoD employee for 10 years. Some of the most dedicated, hardworking, and intelligent colleagues I have known, defied all my stereotypes about faceless bureaucrats.

absolutely, thank you for your service. <3 It's not easy, it's unappreciated, it goes unnoticed and the pay is shit compared to private. Keeping good people for these jobs going forward will be very difficult now.

and I worked with Salmon, not nukes. My supervisor, horrible person. I was on a barge (empty) transporting juvenile salmon for the USACE when I got a call from my Aunt telling me my grandmother fell getting the mail. Told me if you want to say your goodbye, get here. I text my supervisor..

the barge was empty, I was returning to get more salmon to "turn and burn". well, I messaged her and she replied "only if you can find someone to cover you". Well, we always started the year with a full crew(8). Lost half by the end of the second month so we worked perpetually.. no one to cover.

Make sure they value him. Demand higher pay more time off and guaranteed employment until they retirement. Fuck these aholes. Fraud waste and abuse my ass. Cancel all Elon govt contracts and put his ass in jail

No they are a bunch of bumbling idiots with too much money and not enough knowledge. Fucking with this countries government isn't like playing around with the social media. They are leaving our country open for attacks by any ad all enemies, which are becoming larger in numbers by the hour,

After what Musk did to Twitter not sure why anyone thought handing him the keys to the whole government was a good idea. I think last time I checked it was valued at 80% less than when he bought it.

🛑STOP ELON!🛑 Government by Keystone Cops makes us more vulnerable to attack! #STOPPROJECT2025‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Resist. Protest Tesla near you, NOON, SATURDAY, 2/15/25👈📢🪧🇺🇲

Every action the sockpuppet admin as we are under occupation by enemy states has been and will be done to damage our country or its standing with the world. Dismantle the government until civil unrest allows them to invoke martial law and corral anyone not in support the labor force and imprisoning

I’m sure all these people with security clearances being laid off, thrown into financial precarious situations, will not be targeted by hostile foreign powers willing to pay for secrets.

Some folk will come back through public duty: they would rather take it on the chin than risk having novices try to assure nuclear material safety.
